Any more than that, and I'm in the regular checkouts.

Now, I'm not afraid of new technology, and I used to be a cashier at Meijer's...so that helps.
Man Meijer's rules! I miss going to the local Meijer's ever since I moved away from Michigan. Now I have to go to multiple stores when I need to get a few odds and ends, whereas Meijer's had everything!

I like the U-Scan lanes for small purchases. Like said before, it is not good for produce, but if you're picking up some chips and bread, it's great as a time saver. I think the time saved not waiting in line to purchase a handful of things makes up for the cost of paying for a cashier's job while doing it myself.

As a sidenote, don't ever try buying a bunch of Kool-Aide packets with the U-Scan... you'll be there for a LONG time because the weight is too miniscule to be picked up by the tray!
