    The only store I've been to without a fussy self-checkout is a pretty large euro-style grocery chain in North America. Their attendants are usually also attending to a standard check-out, so they don't even walk over. If you click the help button, they'll just void the last item you scanned lol.

      Europeans are evil. But at the very least they demand some quality of life for themselves. Americans are made miserable and will threaten to kill your family if you suggest things don’t have to be this way for them.
