    In my country, it’s a huge success. People love it at the point that even Aldi and Lidl implemented the system.

    But, the huge difference with the US is cultural. People coming here from abroad have a hard time to make local friends. It can take up to 10 years to make one.

    My guess is that people love the lack of social contact more than self checkout itself.

      If you are talking about Germany, yes. I recently (3 years) moved to Germany and I love the tech. I can avoid having contact with the rude people that usually work at the tills.
