A lesson for AI enthusiasts.

I'm an AI enthusiast and I don't know why people are down voting you here. Automated systems are great, but you run the risk of just doing the status quo faster, and removing the social element.

Back when I was doing a weekly shopping trip on my bike with panniers, I tried self-checkout once when the cashiers were busy. Never again. The tall bags just screwed with the sensors too much. Now I'm maybe a bit more inclined to use it because I moved to a house just a quick walk to the store. It can make sense to just dump all of the items on the weighing platform and put them in my backpack and reusable bags later.
