@goatsarah I just wish they were more efficient, though. The difference between the waiting time on a checkout line here and in Vancouver for the same number of people waiting is just staggering. Pingo Doce and Auchan are especially exasperating.
Auchan is likely a systemic issue given some episodes I witnessed. And their self-checkout machines are even worse, I keep having to call someone to unblock them. Their scales seem too sensitive or not properly tuned.
