My pet peeve you ask? When someone brings 3 carts full of stuff to the self checkout. (Just saw this.). Like I realize unfortunately Walmart doesn't post a maximum but they should. I've always reserved self checkout for people with minimal items that may be in a rush. But such is life.

I didn't even know Wal-Mart had self check out but I agree, it should be similar to the 12 items or less lanes.

I hate self check-outs. Firstly, it eliminated someone's job Secondly, I always seem to screw it up and then I'm standing there, stuck, feeling foolish, needing assistance and not finding any because someone's job was eliminated

I use it because many people don't know how to use it so I get out quicker than the rest.

We use them because a) I am faster than the person who would be packing my stuff and b) I know better than to put eggs or bread at the bottom of a bag and then put heavier items on top of them unlike most of the people who actually bag the grocery at stores, and c) if there is a problem with an item scanned, I can go check it out faster and get a more reliable answer before whoever the customer service rep is even answers the light at the regular checkout notifying him there is a problem and then takes another 15-20 minutes to come back with the answer.
I don't use them all the time when alone, but when I am with my wife I normally do for the aforementioned reasons.

I work at Lowe's and before they brought in Self check at any given time the front end usually consisted of one cashier at the garden entrance, two at the customer service desk, one at the main entrance and another in lumber. On busy days you might have seen two or three on the front and in the garden center but that was the average shift, after self check out came in however there was now a new cashier added to the daily mix as you had to have someone watch over the machines to see if they weren't messing up and that people weren't stealing. Still, I don't particularly care to use them because often they're not really all that much faster than a regular line.

I don't shop at Wal-Mart if I can at all help it, but shop Home Depot frequently for little things though I like Lowe's infinitely more, but it's further away. I hate myself sometimes Anyway, I too can get in and out quicker and there's never a line.

There are brands of food my kids won't eat any other brand of so a few times I have no choice. Otherwise I don't shop at Walmart for what I don't have to.

So, I got engaged yesterday. I popped the question to my girlfriend in a pub in Salisbury and she said "yes." EDIT: If you're friends with me on Facebook, don't say anything on my timeline yet or anything. We're not going public with it 'til next week because my good lady has some people she wants to tell first this weekend.

^^ Yeah, I also refuse to use self-checkout registers. Partly because, as Slam says, I don't get paid to do the store's job for them and partly because it's taking someone's job away.
