I'm against what Walmart especially has done by remodelling stores and removing their checkout lanes and replacing them all with self checkout.

but I have nothing against a store having a couple self checkout lanes.

Cause they are nice to have if you only bought one or two things, and don't want to wait behind a full cart.. or if you are buying something you are personally embarrassed about and don't want to have a cashier see.

Self Checkout should be a very minor option valuable to a select few.

not the primary means of checking out for everyone.
