Even at stores that have this feature, I rarely see people use it. It's clearly not an experience that people flock to.

OTOH, on the rare occasion I've visited a Walmart in the past 10 years, I have a 100% rate of checkout taking an absurdly long time. Everyone there just seems to accept it like they have no choice.
