When I visit a local Rewe or Edeka or Penny there's always a line at the cashier registers and the self-checkouts are always sparsely used (except by me). I understand it's a bit of an issue when you buy baked goods because the menu is more confusing than helpful but for everything scanned, I'm much faster done than standing in line.
Is there some rational reasons why Germans don't use it more?
I always used self-checkout when available.
I did so in Australia and in the US and was happy when it slowly started in Germany.
I don't care about the "human interaction" with a cashier that only says "hello" and "55,83". You always have to tell them that you want to pay by card, in other countries it was the default option.
It's quicker, I pay with a card anyway and it's mostly small purchases in my case. Larger purchases (water, meals for the week)are all done online and delivered to my door.
Why do I believe you haven't lived 50 years ago? 😅

Had someone standing in line because of "baked goods" this week.
Said it's "too difficult" to select the "Laugenstange" on the display 😅
