Where? Self checkout isn't express checkout. I don't think express checkout has been a thing for 5+ years.
Edit: Lol also I appreciate this as a major reason you don't use self checkout. That's completely fair:
The shop-rite in my area has both express (10 items or less) and regular/no-limit self-check outs.
Depends on the region. At least here in the states there are plenty of stores where the self checkout at Walmarts have signs saying <=25
Personally I'm in favor of extreme automation like self checkout. The real issue is that the workers don't see the return the buisness owners do. Like imagine if we had UBI + good unemployment and then it wouldn't really be an issue. Walmart would have to compete with people going home
