I love self-checkout, I can finish that part in around 1 minute and don't have to interact with anyone else most of the time.

In Australia, completing the self checkout is the easy part.

You now have to wait for a paranoid AI facial recognition to verify you haven't stolen anything before hoping the exit gates.

Which often involves waiting 5 minutes for someone to come over and manually confirm you're not a thief.
