    I stopped for fuel at the Pilot in Kentucky on I75 exit 11 and they had 1 cashier and 3 of these self serve machines. I had the unfortunate chance to use one and they are ssslllloooowww. Hope this won't be a trend. (Sorry about the side ways photo. It wouldn't let me rotate it.)

    If people like YOU wouldn't use them then we wouldn't have them!! Seriously A was trying to get me to use one the other day and I was like "no way, not till I get a discount for doing their job!!"

    They have 1 at the new J down on 37, I LOVE not having to weight on slow cashiers.

    But who is checking to see that it's not scan one item, put three items in pocket without paying. Seems like a surefire way to increase loss of product.

    They know the weight if the item. When it goes in the bag it's on a scale. Also I'm sure big brother is watching

    I see both sides of it.
    Just like at Walmart.

    On one hand I don't want to use it.. on the other hand.
    If I can use the Machine and not have to wait in line..I will use it.
