It appears I'm not the only one who thinks the Costco self-checkouts are not efficient.

They just added self-checkouts at my local Costco.  The biggest problem is they don't have hand scanners; if you have items too large to pick up and put on the scanner table someone has to come scan it for you.

Well, my local Wally World has gone self-checkout except for one or two lanes.
That would massively increase the number of checkout lanes, per the last time I was in a Walmart. Very busy place in a very large city, you'd never see 3 lanes or more open except around Christmas. Would have less trouble with self checkouts if they were less obnoxious about removing bags as I make room for the rest of my stuff.
