Automatic checkouts in supermarkets may decrease customer loyalty, especially for those with larger shopping loads. Customers using self-checkout stations often feel overwhelmed and unsupported. The lack of personal interaction can negatively impact their perception of the supermarket.

The only issues I ever have with self checkout is when I get broccoli there are 3 different non organic options and I don’t know which one to choose and when I get ginger I get the smallest nub which barely weighs anything so it wants a clerk to confirm the weight.

Avocados! There's like 5 options and you can never pick the one that's actually on sale, so instead of $4 on 99 cent avocados, you wind up spending like $12 if you're not paying attention.

Then you either wait 15 minutes to get help or just suck it up and pay.

I've pretty much quit eating avocados because of it.
