I purposely checkout with human cashiers despite the fact that self-checkout is almost always faster.
Sometimes technology provides so much benefit that it's a no-brainer to adopt. I don't think that's the case for self-checkout stations. They're marginally better but come at a cost that I don't believe is worth it.
A single self-checkout station probably replaces 2 cashiers. Not to mention they take up less space. It makes a lot of sense for the store owners but I don't think it makes much sense for the community.
