Walmart specifically seems to have ruined the self checkout system. It used to work great, but then they limited the machines. Lines reappeared and we couldn't dodge the slow people. Then WM put in special lines for people who pay $13 a month.
Aldi's and Publix are closer, so WalMart is no longer a major stop.
Self checkout works best when its the "I didn't even need a cart to carry what I've got" option for people just moving quick and getting out.
Once it became the default it was always going to go to shit, no matter what they tried because it now relied on the intelligence and speed of a common idiot to function. Which is why one of the first things they had to bring back was having a full time employee just there to troubleshoot the things.
In a way I agree. I see the women with giant carts and know they're going to take forever. However, I could have used a different line or machine. Walmart restricted that.
