Hasn't it?

They're always faster than the queue for the cashiers, and they work fine.

The only issue I've had recently is they stopped taking cash for some reason, and I pay in cash. But besides that, they're fast and work great.

My favorite thing about some self checkouts is one big line for like 8 checkouts. You don't have to gamble with who you get in line behind.
