Reminds me of a talk I had with one of my step-sons when he was in his teens.
Of course Fred has nothing to say, he's the one who's going to have to fix that shit...

Who do you think set the fire? Fred's done with their shit.
Nah, he makes Shaggy and Scooby doing it for some Scooby Snacks.
No, he makes all the mechanical contraptions, he only bribes them to use them as bait.
My first suspect is the Son of Sam... er Shaggy that fool holds 2 way conversations with a dog.
They all do that... Shaggy just bought into the lifestyle too... man.
1) Clickbait articles are the worst.
2) As an ex-grocery store cashier, I love self checkout. I will always choose self check whenever I can. I bag better, faster, and I don't have to make awkward conversation. I've also had so many people treat teenage me like shit at checkout, or just be weird, I am happy not to add to any cashier's stress.

1)I completely agree.
2) I worked at a grocery store for a couple of years of high school, I also can bag better, faster, neater and in fewer bags than everyone seems to want to use today. I love self-checkout, but I will make a point to use that bored looking cashier when I'm not under a deadline and can ensure they have at least one good, nice, and most importantly clean (non-sexual, non-ick factor) interaction with a customer that day. I can at least be an example that not every guy is a sleaze and polite and say things like "Yes, ma'am, thank you." or "No, thank you." and it not come out of my mouth as condescending or that I can't believe I'm saying that to someone younger than I am.
Sounds like a skill issue.
That being said, i prefer them to have mixed checkout options, even without the effect on lines, sometimes i just don't feel like doing it myself (and others i don't feel like interacting with the cashier, even when ours don't do small talk).

The only thing that Sam's Club really has over Costco at this point is scan-and-go using the app. You scan items with your phone as you add them to your cart, then check out on the app once you have everything, then just show the resulting QR code to the door flunky on your way out. VERY convenient.
A grocery store I used to go to in Virginia had that, using bar code scanners that store card holders could use.
Only, they were always deactivated. There was always a dozen dead ones on the display on the wall. I assume the store manager didn't like the idea, but kept the display up to fool/satisfy visiting district managers. It always was so annoying. I would happily scan and go everywhere.
A grocery story by me had this and they got rid of it because it lead to massive amounts of theft.
