      I’m faster than queuing for a cashier.

      And if it’s one where you take the scanner round the shop with you, it’s certainly faster than unpacking it all and repacking it.

      No, it’s way more relaxed and honestly I don’t wanna speak to someone after a whole day of yapping at the office. I just wanna pack the groceries into my bag in peace

      I’m faster than the line of people buying ice and lotto tickets and cigarettes and paying with a check.

      Yes I am. Worked in retail for 8 years. They are slow because they are paid by the hour, not the transaction.

      I use an app to scan items when I pick them up and immediately put them into my bag. The whole self-checkout process takes 10s to scan a QR code and pay. It is much more faster and pleasant.

          Here in Estonia, major stores (I think we have 5 chains) offer mobile apps that let you scan items. You pick something up, scan it, and put it in your bag. By the time you arrive at the self‑service checkout, everything is packed and you only have to pay, which takes mere seconds.
