Am I the only one who gets to the self checkout and is compelled to finish as soon as humanly possible?

Imagine if there was a speedrun timer on them and a leaderboard

Would make boring everyday life a little more interesting

    It feels weird to me, like I feel pressured to do the cashier job on myself while the person that would normally do it watches.

      That is what it is, but the person isn’t watching just you, they’re watching 10 at once, which means less queuing

      I find I do it much faster than cashiers tend to, it’s not a lot of effort and it takes less time out of my day than if they were to have done it for me

      It’s the opposite for me, I feel liberated for not having to make small talk with the cashier. I can scan at my leisure and don’t have to really talk to anyone. I may be being observed but it’s less direct compared to going through the regular checkout.
