I sense a lot of dislike for self-checkouts and wonder why they are done so poorly where other people live. In Holland they are fine. You can self-scan with either a portable scanner or your phone while you shop, or scan the items at checkout. I've literally never had to wait for a free machine, and they work well. Some people use the registers with humans scanning for you, and they seem fine too.
