Self-checkouts were so convenient, now they've had some of them gated and some just closed down because people kept stealing. Sucks.

They're amazing here, we don't have proshoplifting communities though it's generally looked down upon so it's not quiet the dystopia America seems to be. I love being able to get in and out without pausing my podcast.

I'm from Finland. Things are pretty good here but it still happens, self-checkouts were scaled down because of theft. Teens and junkies being two big groups, from what I've heard from people working with self-checkouts. Sucks even more that this isn't happening because people are stealing to eat or something.
