Yup, that's what it was about. He was pissed that stupid people have totally ruined a great idea.
There are times where I honestly think I can get through a "traditional" checkout line faster than a self-checkout, thanks to the dummies that don't know how they work.
yeah, and it doesn't help when the idiot they put in charge of the self-checkouts doesn't know what they're doing or pay attention. i swear the grocery strore in my town has a stipulation requiring the self-checkout attendant to have an IQ of 46 or lower.
