I haven't used self-checkout voluntarily: if you go to Lowe's or Target too early, they don't have anyone on the checkout line yet, so you don't have a choice except to come back in an hour. But the experience is bad, and it exists solely to save money by putting people out of a job, with the side effect of making customers do free work. If they all go away tomorrow, good riddance.
