Before self checkout grocery stores were super annoying for 1-5 items, as even in the 13 items or less checkout you'd often be behind 4-5 customers at 2-3 minutes each. Now just personally my choices if I need milk on the way home are... 1. Stop at convenience store and pay $7.50-$9.00 for 4L milk, maybe get stuck behind 2-3 customers, each transaction slow and painful. Or 2. Stop at safeway, walk to their milk fridge, pay $5.75 for the same milk, and walk right up to a self check out and be out most times quicker than the convenience store.

Yep. This is a very good point.
