Unhappy Refuse to use

If everyone refuses to use them they will go away!!! I for one practice this policy and feel everyone should complain when there's not enough help to cash you out!!! Pretty soon they won't even accept cash, just credit then we're all doomed.
Remember when they used to count your cash back to you instead of handing you what the register says to give you!!

the most uncommon thing you can possess,.................. is.............. common sense!

Can't Friggin' stand'em. Everytime I try to use them I end up having to ask for help and feel like an idiot

I always seem to end up at Homeys when there is litereally ONE REGISTER open, and 8 people in line, so I HAVE to use them for my 1 roll duct tape or whatever small items.Otherwise I would just walk out and I guess they know that.
However at the Grocery store, NEVER in a million years, the girls at the market are SO friendly these days, that I would feel like im cheating on them .
I hate those machines, they offer you NOTHING whatsoever.
Didnt Kmart completely get rid of them in all their stores ? cause their average customer can barely figure out how to use the automatic doors in the right direction, never mind a "com-pooter".

Tellers don't work past 5pm generally. Thats was the original idea of them, off hour banking... But I see your point, I was'nt old enough to understand the impact of them at the time they came out, but I can now see the impact of the self check registers.

Another "convience" that seperates interaction among humans and helps the bottom line of business.
