    The check out is the part where the actual sales transaction occurs. It really is materially different from those other services you mentioned.

    Also,

    I don’t really care since the part I like, getting finished at the store, happens faster.

    That was true until they realized they could enshittify by closing all the regular check-outs and force everyone into it. Now it’s just as slow as full-service used to be.

      Like a vending machine? Or the gas station? Or the grocery pickup, where I pay online?
      What makes a human being present for me giving my money to a machine different if it’s a grocery store as opposed to one of those?

      Sorry your experience sucks. Stores near me regularly have both open and the self checkout is invariably significantly faster. It’s not like I just didn’t notice that something I do several times a week actually sucks.
