With a normal checkout,we get to chat to the person behind the scanner, with SS we have hust a flashing machine,there no eye contact,and we have to pack our own bags.
This is a plus

Or supervised by an over 18. But tell that to the staff at my local Tesco (unless I'm very bad at judging age these days!).

I have on a number of occasions got so frustrated with these things I've just left my shopping and walked out. Mind you thats not unusual for me, I often get fed up half way round the Supermarket and just abandon my trolley. However I do feel strongly that the profits the big supermarkets are making is quite frankly obscene. They should be creating jobs for the local community not replacing staff with machines

Erm... well if you feel strongly about it then why not use the checkout staff that are there and demonstrate that they are still needed, especially if you struggle with the machines?

I quite often use the ones in my local tesco, what I find quite annoying is the "unexpected item in bagging area" thing comes up when you put your tesco supplied reusable bags down, and then have to wait for the girl to finsih going to every one of the other 7 tills before you can even start to scan your shopping.
All it needs is for them to add a little button that says, I'm doing what you ask and using my own bags! (awaits flaming when someone tells me that this is already there and I'm just blind/stupid/ignorrant*)
*delete as appropriate

Our local tesco has that button, but it only recently appeared.

Vote with your wallet then and shop elsewhere. Stop being so lazy!

What other supermarkets exist other than Tesco and Morrisons

THERE ARE SHOPS OTHER THAN SUPERMARKETS AVAILABLE. Sorry about the shouting, just a point that needs making in these sorts of discussions

Sainsbury's self scan seem to be the best to me, and Morrison's the worst. I do like the self-service in the Partick Morrison's at Glasgow though - about 90% of the customers are oldies who are afraid to use them so you're guaranteed a nice short queue!

I love these, but recently discovered you can't buy more than 2 packs of Asda own brand Ibuprofen.
Presumably because of the thousands of people each year who decide to kill themselves by getting in their car, disconnecting the hosepipe from the exhaust, driving to the local Asda, past all the local bridges, ignore the more powerful drugs and buy 3 packets of Ibuprofen.
