It is actually very easy. You first scan your preferred card. Then each item has a bar code on it, you scan the bar code and put the item in the bagging area. If you have fruits or vegetables most of them have stickers on them with the items PLU number that you can just type in. If there is no sticker you can look up the item using the item look up list. Once you are done you hit Finish and Pay. There you choose from paying with cash, check, debit, credit, or however you want to pay. That's all!
Self checkout has many advantages. First of all, in some supermarkets, most people go to the normal checkout so self checkout may be faster. It is also more "interactive" and fun to do. Of course, if you have alot of items, it can be much faster to go to a normal checkout. If you go to a normal checkout, the people who work there would also scan your goods faster than you can. I personally use selfcheckout except when i have alot of items.
