It’s not a universal replacement for a clerk, but it can be very useful.

I can be through the whole process at CVS (with some random item like a birthday card) in about 30 seconds.

It's funny that you mention CVS. I went to use the human checkout at CVS last time I was there because the line for self-checkout was so long, only to be told "in order to check out at this register, you need to have a CVS extra-care card".

I no longer shop at CVS.

		I also refuse to go into a CVS. They are trash. It's a shame there as so many more of them than walgreens.

		lol You really have to be able to judge to self checkout ability of the people in line. Some will get stuck for 5 min before a clerk comes to do it for them.
