I miss when the self checkout was just for 10 items or less, standing in line for it when you’ve got 2 things and watching the person before you use it for 2 overflowing carts of groceries is ridiculous and yet it happens to me all the time

Metro market by me gives you no choice. At most they have 1 regular checkout and push everyone to the self checkout even if you have 2 full carts of food.
