Not to mention that regular cashiers are setup to be much quicker than the self checkouts. Regular cashiers don't have to have each item weighed individually before they proceed to the next one. They have conveyor belts to move the groceries up more efficiently. Some stores used to even have staff that would bag the groceries for the cashiers. But they were eliminated to save money, not to save time. Just like self checkouts.
