I actually prefer self-checkout; it's usually faster and I don't have to talk to anyone. In a socialist country, it could replace cashiers without a problem (as long as there's someone to help you if an error occurs)

Same. Stores over here have a rule of 15 articles or less = self checkout. More items = normal line. It seems to work. Especially since most grocery stores over here are build in small buildings and don't have a lot of normal check outs. I don't want to wait in line for 10 minutes if I'm only buying two tomatoes.
