Self checkout (at least in my experience) is now just become "regular checkout" with extra steps.

Each time I scan an item it refuses to scan, so I need to wait for an associate to approach me.

This hasn't happened to me in years.

Lasers read the most fucked up UPCs now days. I can point my Lowe's phone at a filthy, half-torn UPS, in sunlight, and it reads. I'm more surprised when it doesn't work instantly.

This is user error.

Should be MAX like 5% of items give you an issue. That’s mostly just due to age approval for some items.

So if you buy 20 items each visit, you'll always get one item. 5% is a lot.

The age approval thing you either misunderstood or you just tried to put words into NarrativeBear's mouth.

I guess you don’t understand the use of the word MAX.

Essentially the only time I need assistance at self checkout is when I need age approval. Not sure how that means I’m putting words in someone’s mouth.

Not sure how that means I’m putting words in someone’s mouth.

Because you claimed it as a fact instead of saying it was your experience.

Ah yes, “Should be” always precedes facts. How could I be so foolish.
