The only time it's ever useful for me is when I have to come in and grab 2-3 things fast.
I hate that it basically kills cashier jobs and I hate having to do a weekly grocery on them because of how shitty the systems are... It's to the point where I'll avoid places where there's no cashier the day I do my grocery or do it online and pick it up or get it delivered.
It was kind of a dying job anyway, checkout operators have a higher turnover rate than other departments in retail, because enough people still like to treat checkout workers as some sort of indentured slave, people don't want to be treated like crap at work by customers and checkout workers seem to catch the brunt of that because they can't walk away from the situation.
I work in retail and quite often get pulled out of my department to jump on checkout and even when I've stopped my job to put these customers through, they still want to have a go at me for the fact that self service exists.
If we could all be chill with checkout operators we would have more checkouts open.
Also I know most people are chill, but the ones that aren't chill, make it not worth coming in.
