Perhaps they should be paying the customer with savings since they're saving so much money not paying a full-time checkout attendant per register. The customer is now the employee.

Meh, I don't mind using self-checkout when it's actually self-checkout. I hate standing in lines and my anxiety doesn't do me any favors so I'm all in favor if the system actually works.
