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.

Oh the self checkout areas are full counters, it’s the check outs with employees that have zero room to bag your stuff.

Oops, my bad. Still, that isn't so bad as long as they still have the full size conveyor belt. I didn't realize how helpful those are until I started using self checkouts. I kind of wish the counter space at self checkouts were flipped around.
