If I have a few items I use em. How do they differ from an ATM?
Tellers don't work past 5pm generally. Thats was the original idea of them, off hour banking... But I see your point, I was'nt old enough to understand the impact of them at the time they came out, but I can now see the impact of the self check registers.

Another "convience" that seperates interaction among humans and helps the bottom line of business.

What I don't get is why I go into Wally-World or Home depot and they are not ALL open.

Are they on their break? Do they already have a union?

LMAO...I would like to know the same thing...I just think they are stupid period...someone has to stand there to help us idiots out anyway, why not just be a cashier and check us out, they always end up doing it for me anyway.

I don't use the self checkout mainly because I am anal about bagging my stuff myself and use both paper and plastic bags. The self check only has plastic.

I hate those stupid machines. I just don't understand the rationale for them, except the bottom line. You bring business to the store, and they say thank you by making you do all the work yourself? What a sham. They are not a convenience but a hindrance because they take longer than going through a cashier line and there are always problems with them.

HAMMER TIME!

I used to think the same thing about self-serv gas stations when they were first becoming popular. Look how used to them we've become. Scary.

Pretty soon we're going to be without cashiers completely...

Simply grab an item and walk out the door through a scanner and your account will be debited...

Freaky stuff...

what's FREAKY is.............................
that the recognition/identification tags are now being installed in humans .
not to mention they can drive by your house and know what items you own or do not own ....they still send out signals

and slinger....the 666 referal...is now being done to dead bodies by placing bar (tattoo's, so they dont get lost ) codes on them for tracking purpouses
