Wild guess, you’re American? Because every story I hear about self checkouts in the US is this. Meanwhile in actual first world countries where they are modern systems you very rarely have any of these issues. Even my experiences in Croatia and Spain from 20 years ago had solved most of this (and please, I’m not dissing them. I’m a Swede and my experience is just that Scandinavia is on the forefront of stuff like this.)
I haven’t had to grab the attention of a worker for so many years, and from what I see with other shoppers it’s the same for them. The workers seem bored if anything because they so rarely have to help someone even with one person minding twenty of them at the larger stores.
