18 A roach has a theory about self-checkout. One I can attest to. One I think is the future of all these 'smart' technological upgrades: they're shit and only make things easier for scammers and thieves.

spoiler: scammers and thieves existed before self checkout and will exist after.
If retailers get rid of self checkout, it's because the added costs of maintenance and oversight exceeded their expectations.
Sometimes the customer using it is a retard and sometimes the interface is confusing or unintuitive.
I'd rather use a self checkout than deal with a masked sales clerk.
