Good grief! I do not like waiting in lines either. But to say an employee who serves the public should not speak to that public is pretty absurd. And yes, there are fast and slow checkers, just like there is variation in us all.

You know who always checks out my groceries exactly as fast as I want? Myself.

Whatever makes you happy in your life…..

Not wasting my time waiting in checkout lines so I can act like some kind of social martyr does indeed make me happy.

There's also the fact that you can have three self checkout terminals in the space of a single cashier. Even if it takes you twice as long as a cashier to cash out, you'll be spending 50% less time in line for every cashier that's been replaced with self checkout.

Nowadays, I only use self checkout as well, because I can get through it in less than 30 seconds, almost never any lines.
