#The One Line Americans (Weirdly) Choose to Wait In

Valerie Trapp writing for the Atlantic:

Apparently, though, many grocery stores across the country regularly see longer lines for self-checkout than for cashiers. A friend of mine recently told me that the line for self-checkout at her Manhattan Whole Foods tends to snake around the store; sometimes, employees encourage people to move to the shorter, regular line—yet still only a handful will defect.

Lowes near me has replaced all checkouts with self checkouts. I hate it here.
