That's great, why would I pay someone to do something I absolutely don't mind doing myself, and even save some time while doing it. Do you also still pay someone to pump fuel into your car?

Until like two years ago I did (now-rural Oregonian). Now I pay the same for gas, getting it no faster and having to do the work and even sometimes I now even have to deal with loud commercials they put on the pumps. The only upside is it's easier to fill up late at night, yay.

I don't voluntarily assume legal risks that come in to play if I make a mistake.

That and I've been in public restrooms and seen how few people wash their hands. I hate having to touch public screens. Touch public screens and then handle my food? Pass.

If I'm expected to start doing something that they formerly paid employees to do, I'd expect to get something in return, like a grocery discount or something.

It's like if restaurants started making you cook your own food. Why even bother to go?

Ever been to a Korean steak house?

;)

You pay a fair penny to cook your own food.

In my town, you actually have to let them. There's a law. I think it has something to do with smoking morons blowing themselves (and others) up.

Like I said, I do it on a human principle; not because it's not a good idea.

They are annoying, though, because they chirp at you with ads, as you pass items on the shelf.
