Do you use Self-Service tills at supermarkets?

The places I go to you have no choice basically. I go through in seconds and pay with my watch.

Absolutely yes. And this thread needs a poll.

I only use the cashier if i have alcohol, medicine, or a lot of items.

Depends on how big my shopping cart is. If it's full, I'll go to a person so we can bag more quickly. If it's like, 6 items, I'll use the self checkout.

I use them if I only have a few items/small items or if they're particularly busy and the lanes are more open.

I always use the self service because I love grocery shopping while doing my own thing, listening to music or podcasts or whatever. I spent my entire busy-ass day between colleagues, meetings and patients and if I can choose to do my shopping without forced pleasantries, I will. It's one of life's small pleasures.

Been using them since they became a thing. They are quick and easy to use

It's quicker.

honestly yes, but it depends on how many goods I have.

If its just a few things / less than a bag full then yeh. If its a lot of stuff then I'll go to the counter and they scan while I pack for efficiency.

only if i dont have a lot of stuff.

Yep, nearly always

I try not to unless there are incredibly long lines at the staffed check-outs. I don't want to give the stores an excuse to cut more cashier positions.

Yes. It's quicker.

Almost exclusively. Only times I use regular checkout lines are when I'm buying an item with an attached security tag. I even stopped going to the closer grocery store because they took the self checkout system away, but didn't hire any more cashiers to replace it with, meaning I'd be standing in line for 15+ minutes to buy my 3 items.

If I am only buying 2-3 items I'll use em, otherwise I am too lazy to scan out all my various grocery items.

Not ever. I shop for a family of 5 so having to look up and/or enter the PLU codes of various fruits and veggies takes way too long.

If I do that, I'd expect them to discount my groceries.

Also, Fairway doesn't have self checkout and that's where I shop most frequently.

Always! (Unless I'm doing bulk shopping)

I always use them if I have a hand basket and can put everything into 1 or 2 bags. After that I just go to a register so I don't hold anyone else up.

Always go self service because it's damn fast.

Yes because the checkout machine never has an opinion or something to say about what I'm buying.

Usually. I rarely buy more than a few items do its faster and easier.

It's basically the replacement for the "10 items or less" lines for me, which applies to me about 90% of the time, so yeah I use them

i do if im in poundland for cheap snacks their self checkout has a shitty elvis impersonator for the voice although this month its dracula

If I'm just picking up a few things or don't trust the baggers to bag my stuff appropriately - yes.

Depends how much stuff I'm buying. Basket full, self service. Trolley full, staffed.

Yes yes yes. Whenever possible. It's much quicker for me than queuing for a person, since many people still seem more comfortable to go there. And for big groceries there is always Amazon Prime!

I don't use them because I support the employees at my local grocery stores.

I usually don't do big batches of groceries, so I just do self check-out. The line is usually shorter or empty and it's just more convenient.

Here the battle is already lost - usually only 1-2 staff checkouts, and so they get lineups. So you inevitably use self-checkout instead unless you have a big grocery cart of things. Though, I've been to a few self-checkout only places and those end up having basically the same amount of staff to deal with the checkout process?
