    I only use checkouts with people. The Malwart near me refuses to open any registers other than self checkout. There are always ladies at the front wanting to check receipts. So, I just abandon my purchase a lot.

    If they can’t hire people to open a single register than they can hire someone to put back the items in the cart.

    Arguments:

    “But POTOOOOOOOO you are being an asshole!”

    I helped build POS machines. I know how often they are inaccurate and if they think you made an error stores are quicker to trust the POS machine more than the person.

    The POS machines at self check outs have a ton of cameras and most want you to pay with a credit card. Some machines won’t flag you for shop lifting until after the fact. Then they will be able to cross reference the credit card that paid for it.

    “You’re being paranoid”

    TL;DR: Don’t use self checkouts.
