I like to check my own stuff out at the stores with those check out computers. Sometimes it doesn't take bills right, but for people with credit cards it works even faster. I'd also like it if it lowered prices; since the price of computer employees is less then human employees for the business.  |

I hope to avoid them as long as possible (-: I am not too fond of the idea, and they are starting to show up around my area as of a few months ago.  |

we have them in walmart and that is it really. I like them because walmart is so crowded and if im in there im only generally getting 1 or 2 things so it makes it easier for me to avoid the crowds  |

Yes they are here! I do not like them! I feel there is way more to it than we know! I won't use it unless I am forced to & then again I may just go to another store!  |

not over here yet Toodles!!!although, the human presence at the checkouts are becoming less and less, we wait for what seems eternity to get through checkouts....the stores have a dozen checkouts but not even half are open at any one time..I like the interaction with the girls while checking out my shopping and I dont know how long it will be before they are replaced by computers..good post ...hugs  |

I don't feel why there's an element of surprise here. Why not have computers? There a semi-easily fixed resource that's generally dependable and works without emotion, no questions asked. They've got humans whipped. -  |

It hasn't gone that far yet, but I don't like it one bit, I think humans rely WAY too much on computers and technology. Who knows what they will take over next!  |

I actually prefer the U-scans!! Maybe because I've become increasingly antisocial :p I do see what you're saying, though, about them taking away jobs. Very good point. I think it's ultimately about $$, and how the company can save money by installing say 4 computers and hiring one person to oversee those, as opposed to hiring 4 people.  |

i never go to the computers at walmart. i always have problems. well, the computers are less able to miscalculate and can make a price check faster. but nothing beats a teen kid with an attitude! LOL- Blade of the Samurai  |

We have a couple of those in a few grocery stores and retail stores. Sometimes I'll go to one if I just have one item but they can be so annoying like if you don't scan it right or bag it right. Sometimes going to a regular register goes faster than the computered ones.  |

The store where I shop has 4 U-Scans, and I use them all the time. However, many people, especially elderly people don't like them and are uncomfortable using them. I think that having a few of them is a good thing, but I hope they never completely replace check out clerks.  |
