      This was funny like a decade ago when it was commonplace.

      Stores in my area solved that at least 6 years ago, maybe even earlier than that.

        Stores near me first put in self checkouts around a decade ago and still have the original, problematic machines. It’s the newer stores or ones recently renovated that have upgraded, but that is rare.

        Yeah, even in South Central area of LA where I am, the system is quite responsive at the Food 4 Less.
