I prefer it if the line is short and I have few groceries. I do worry about taking away people's jobs, but I kind of like not having to deal with anyone. The thing is, often something happens at the automatic checkout where the supervising cashier has to come and intervene -- that is almost more annoying than having a human cashier to start with, whom I can mostly ignore and deals with my stuff without my having to wait or call someone.

I am hyper aware of other people's job every moment I am out in the world.
It is weird. We did not used to have this way of thinking.
