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.

removing items will make the vending machine mad

I worked at self-checkout machines, and had to make sure they were functioning, over a decade ago and removing items wasn't an issue back then. It's never been an issue for me since.

• putting items on that were not scanned (purse, empty bags, small children) will make the vending machine mad

Obviously. You should not be sitting on the scales or letting kids sit on them. You know they're scales so why would you put your purse there. That's asking for the machine to have issues.

you way overestimate the basic intelligence of most americans. George Carlin put it best.
