Using the traditional cashier checkouts.

They no longer pack the bags for you, so what happens is the cashier scans all your groceries (fairly quickly) and they put it on a second conveyor belt where you have to go to the end of it and pack everything in the bags yourself. But you have to manually press the fucking button to make all the groceries come towards you. So while you're packing, you constantly have to fucking stop and press the button and hold it to make more groceries come your way. And you feel rushed as fuck because the cashier scans through them so quickly that if you don't press the button often enough, the groceries begin to pile up at the beginning of the conveyor belt. The cashier is typically finished scanning everything super quickly, so there comes a point when you've only packed like 40% of your groceries, and then you have to walk back a bit to pay for everything. After you pay, you have to go pack to the end of the conveyor belt to pack the rest of your shit and now you feel rushed again because now there's a person right fucking behind you who's ready to have the cashier scan their shit as well. And despite it not being your fault, you're suddenly in their fucking way and look like a retard who does everything slow as hell.

With the self-check outs, you can pretty much take your time and once you get the hang of it, you should rarely need an attendant to come fix something you fucked up.
