        <description><![CDATA[I hate them, seems like every time I use one I end up asking for help.  They take longer than having somebody check out the items.  And they can't answer questions.  If you have one or 2 items it might not be so bad, but even when I had 2 items it screwed up, and they had to come and help.  No thank you I will wait in line.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I absolutely refuse to use self-checkout.  Robots are stealing jobs fast enough.  Every time someone uses the self-checkout they are cutting down the number of employees a business needs.  So far I have never seen the prices getting lower either.  I will wait in line rather than go through a self-checkout.  I have had clerks try to get me to go through and they will ???help??? me.  They will help me more by getting behind a cash register and getting to WORK.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The supermarket that I shop at most often has self check-out.  Compared to me, a clerk will find a bar code on an item faster, is more likely to pass an item across the reader only once, and is better at filling grocery bags.  Also, he has a hand-held reader, I don't.  Self check-out might be cheaper for the store, but it's slower for the customer.]]></description>
