It is GREAT as an option but not as the primary. I love it for small trips for a small number of things .

However for any medium to large shopping trip I would prefer to have someone there scanning while I unload and load.

I use self-checkout as my primary, including for produce, when shopping for a family of six. It's always faster, even though I'm doing all the work.
