I often get sent to the store for a few items, cat food, pop, bread, etc.
That's when I use them the most. I'm in and out of the store within a few minutes most of the time.
What I hate is when I get behind someone trying to use it who looks like they couldn't pour water out of a boot, with instructions on the heel. If you can't figure out the technology, DON'T USE THIS TYPE OF CHECKOUT!!!!!!
My worst experience was getting behind a mom with her slew of bratty children. The one child was fascinated by the fact that when you passed something over the scanner it went "beep". So he started grabbing things out of the bag where mom had just put them and running them over the scanner. He did it to about 5 items before she noticed it. Now she has to call the supervisor, explain the situation, and have it over-ridden.
The group of us that were in line behind her angrily found another checkout. I felt sorry for her, but please people, these things are not meant for everyone.
