Personally I like the self checkout, I can get what I need in one pass through the store and checkout on my own instead of waiting in line. I find it frustrating when all the self checkout stations are full of people who can't follow the simple prompts on the touch screen and need a clerk to come and help them. That said, I occasionally manage to pick up an item that won't scan or rings up an incorrect price, then I have to get a clerk to help me.
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

I'd be surprised if they got rid of all of them. Once you get used to them they work fine for a few items.
I do like the express lanes at KS and like to chat with the nice ladies. KS has very good checkouts and very friendly compared to big city stores.

It took me a long time to even try the self-checkout...and then I only started using it when I was with a co-worker and he used it.
I will not use Self-Checkout for vegetables or fruit...it takes just as long to find the code and enter it correctly as it does to go into the express lane and have someone else enter the codes.
Agree on the veggies and fruits, why hasn't someone come up with something better, like maybe a stick-on bar code that you could scan with or a number to key in.

Some of the fruit and veggies have stickers with the codes on them. Probably too much time and expense to figure out bar codes for all that stuff coming from who knows where. Just my thought.
Self check out provides the speed I desire. The only thing I find frustrating is having to put the item into the bag before it lets you scan the next item. That slows me down. Veggies and fruits or baked goods are not a problem. After a while you remember the codes or simply look at the tiny print listing the code on each of those items or back of bag in the case of baked goods.
