Whenever possible, I try to hit the self-checkout line at a store but that option could be ending soon. Illinois And Wisconsin Stores Are Eliminating Self-Checkout Lines. We split up chores and household duties in my family. One of my jobs is going to the grocery store. It’s not my favorite but I do my best to deal with it. I usually don’t have a huge amount of items so I’ll hit the self-checkout whenever possible. It seems to move faster than using a cashier.
