I exclusively use self-checkout because the lines move faster because one line feeds multiple self-checkouts vs each regular checkout having its own line. This leads to head of line blocking from very customers with a lot more items than you.


This is not an exclusive feature of self-checkout. I have shopped at many places where one line is fed into an array of human cashiers.


What store? I have not seen a single store with this setup.


I see it most often at independant or franchise retailers. Places where providing a pleasant customer experience still seems to have an impact on their bottom line.


I believe some Kohls, TJ Maxx, HomeGoods, and Dollar General stores do it.


Also Ross, CVS, Walgreens, Kohls, Dicks, Ulta, Burlington, Sephora, most clothing stores, many large gas stations.


Yep, those are stores I never go to.


You've never been to a CVS, Walgreens, or RiteAid?


Technically I go to a CVS pharmacy in a Target. RiteAids are not near where I live. And have been in Walgreens a few times.
