We have had these in Europe now for nearly as long as you North Americans. I tend to do daily shopping after work, nice little 15 minute walk calms me down.
But because of this, I was using the scan thing statistically far more than people who don't shop daily. Another important thing is I use my backpack to pack groceries, and in a former life I did a shit ton of back country hiking, so I know how to pack.
I got so fucking tired of 16 year old kids asking to unpack my carefully packed stuff to scan a random number off items (it's not by weight most places here) then trying to pack it back - no no no don't mess with my system - that two years ago I swore off of self check out and only go to the humans now.
Yeah I have to wait in line sometimes, but I figure that evens out for the number of times I was "randomly" checked by some teenager.
At least our check out people can sit down.
Lol, I would be livid in my careful Tetris-ing got ruined every time. The self checkouts are only a time saver if you have like 5 items or less. Anything more, and just wait in line.
