Agree

  • Companies cut labor costs completely
  • You're literally doing their job
  • No discount for scanning yourself
  • Eliminated cashier positions en masse

Disagree

  • Way faster than waiting in line
  • Prefer not making small talk
  • Control over bagging my own items
  • Convenience is worth the tradeoff
