I try to be nice to the cashiers, and I try avoiding those self-scans.  (However, the local %*!mart is trying to make it unavoidable, leaving one cashier available when it’s installed self-scan in lieu of *most* of the old regular lanes.)

Yeah, I’ll be making a stop tonight, though to a more local shop, get one or two things I know I’m out of.

I don’t like the self scans either. From the selfish point of view there’s always something goes wrong, and from the unselfish I’d rather cashiers had the jobs.

I made the turkey run last night—I like a fresh bird, and I always pick up my bird at Stew Leonard’s. The staff there is incredibly helpful, and not a self-scan in sight. It’s so much a part of my holiday tradition that I’m not sure I could do Thanksgiving without Stew’s and those turkeys.

At my local market, I know most of the cashiers. We talk to each other about our kids, our lives, our vacation plans. I always mutter about using one of the grocery delivery services in our area, but I’d miss chatting with everyone at the store.
