If all the lanes were staffed, I bet it would be faster to not do self checkout.
Also, its not so bad to talk to someone? Also also, you don’t actually have to talk to them trust me they don’t care. You don’t even have to make eye contact.
I hate corporations in general for their greed but even I understand why you can’t have all Lanes manned. Because I have worked retail and while there are definitely some busy hours Where things get crazy, the majority of the day would be dead and those people would have nothing to do.
This is why both is good, have 2-3 (for most larger stores) cashier lanes open and two sets of 4 (so 8) self checks open. Let people choose their presence
