I prefer a touchscreen in general. Although I realize that different companies have better or worse systems. I read complaints about self checkout in the USA and scratch my head since in Holland self checkout is lovely.

Trying to use AI is a dumpster fire though.

Got stopped a few times after leaving the self checkout. Very rudely. Extremely rudely. The excuse every time was that I did it too fast and they suspected theft. Refuse to use self checkout. They can shove it.

Touch screens for ordering are ok. Except when you have tech illiterate people in front of you.

Touch screen self checkout lines at supermarkets are absolutely abysmal.

Touch screen self ORDERING stations for food... Glorious.
