Yeah, surveillance steals value from consumers.

Self-checkout seems better to me, because it decreases monotonous and forced public interaction (thus somewhat automated anyway): Beep. Beep. Beep. Do you want loyalty points? That's 21.46€. Do you want the receipt? Goodbye! Beep. Beep. Beep...

It uses less space.

It is parallel instead of serial.

The work is not much more than putting groceries on a checkout lane anyway, except for unlabelled fruits and vegetables.

Self-checkout allows for smaller stores and coops, for example in villages or as kiosk.

Oh no, you had to answer two yes/no questions

The worst inconvenience in the world.

Parallel vs serial: there's usually more than one check out lane open so idk what you waffling about.

Less space is not a convenience for me so idgaf

My local coop has regular check out lanes and it's in a small town so idk what you waffling about.
