Self-checkout is the best thing to happen in recent history, imo.
It's super annoying to need to queue at the counter and talk to the staff. It's not that I have social anxiety and can't talk to them. I just don't want to. I rather use a machine and get my shopping done. I'm there to get stuff, not to talk to people.
I don't mind if the entire store converts to self-checkout save for 1 or 2 counters for those who are unable to use the machine for the time being. Eventually, it should all be converted to self-checkout.

Wait, what you said is just weird. You have to talk to the staff there in America? In my country we just queue, have them pack it in a grocery bag and the most talking you will do are for clarifications. Sure you can be chatty but you're not obligated to...

You assume I'm in America. I'm not. I'm in Singapore. They'll ask if you have a membership, to the store, and if you don't, do you want one? If you don't want one, they'll start telling you that you should get one because of blah blah blah. And after you refuse again, they'll ask if you want a plastic bag with your purchase. I get that it's their job. But I rather not deal with that.

Ah, sorry. It's just that the American-centrism rubbed off on me unfortunately. But that sucks, our cashiers just ask if you have a card that you want to use but they don't advertise it
