I don’t think anyone’s getting tricked into doing labor when it comes to self-checkouts. Nobody gets done with it and then says “wait a minute! I could have had someone do that for me!” Everyone who does self-checkouts has themselves determined that the “labor” is worth it to them. Whether prices are too high in general is another story.

Actually most people doing self checkouts are because these places are understaffed and the ones that are staffing are very slow.
If I go to a store for one item, I don't want to have to sit in a line for 10-45 minutes (as I had to recently, almost for an hour!)
This is also why self checkout with a hard item limit is the better middle ground.
