I use the self checkouts if I'm in a rush and there are lines, but otherwise I go to a real person. Those machines aren't there for your convenience, they're there because once they've been there for a certain amount of time, they have been paid for by the salaries that aren't paid because those people were replaced by a machine. The people who work as cashiers tend to be the people who need the most money, and by letting a machine replace them we deprive them of that money. I don't have a problem with people choosing the machine over the person who isn't qualified to work a more professional jobs, but I doubt that most people think about it that way.

When I was working at Radio Shack, I knew for a fact that 90% of theft was by employees, and I wasn't innocent by any stretch of the imagination. It's just accepted.
