I never use self-checkout because I would never use a place like Walmart.

In the Midwest, we have a chain of grocery stores called Hy-Vee, and the customer experience is so vastly superior to Walmart that I can never imagine going to Walmart again. Hy-Vee has become a pretty big chain, so now they have everything that Walmart would have.

At Hy-Vee they have staff that looks out and opens up new check-out aisles for you so you don't have to wait in a line. So, it's actually faster to use a staffed aisle there. They also have baggers that arrange your cart. Plus, unlike Walmart or Target, Hy-Vee will, in addition to your name brands, carry local brand from businesses in your area so they always have super good salsa/hummus/chips/wine, etc.
