For those of you who do not use "self-checkouts" in retail stores, I have a question for you.

[madinmaryland]

Do you use the following automated devices, and if so, then why?

--ATM Machines - in order to save the jobs of bank tellers?

--Self serve gasoline pumps - To save the jobs of the gasoline pump attendants?

--Do you refuse to order take-out unless it is delivered to you, in order to save the job of the delivery man or to save the jobs of the wait staff of the restaurant?

Just curious.

Edited to add my answers:

I use self-checkout when available (not very many of them here) Our grocery store does not have them and they try hard to keep enough checkout lanes open that we can move through quickly.

ATM machines - If I have an ATM card, I use it.
Self-serve gasoline - Yes. (there are no station in the area that will pump it for you). When in New Jersey, you have to have an attendant pump it for you.
Take-out - We order take out and pick it up. Can't afford the additional charge and tip.
