I'm paying for service, I want service!
It all started with self serve gas. Except, with self serve gas you got a DISCOUNT if you pumped it yourself. I refuse to bag my groceries and I refuse to use the Self Check Out because I am paying people's salaries in the overhead when I'm paying for my groceries. They should give you at least a 10% discount if you're doing all the work yourself (probably more like 25%). You pay the same whether you do it all yourself or whether you have a cashier and a bagger.. so go with the bagger and cashier. Besides, those lanes are going to put people out of jobs with no lower cost for the products. Eventually, we'll only have self serve and our lives will just be filled with more work. There was a time when they delivered the groceries to your house or at least loaded your car!
It's one of my pet peeves...
