Great, now you get to stand in line at a regular checkout and wait for some cashier to scan your stuff at half the speed. But it sure showed them robots.

If the store hires/schedules enough professional cashiers to cover all the registers (or enough per amount of customers at that hour) you'll get through a lot faster than waiting behind all the untrained customers trying to scan, code, and bag their own groceries. A good cashier can scan a cartful six times as fast as the average customer, especially if there's also a bagger, and you can be entering your credit card or other payment information at the same time. If you are waiting, it's because of corporate greed understaffing.

Any cashier can scan faster because they don't have unexpected items in the bagging area.
