I hate hearing older generations crow about how self-checkouts are isolating the elderly and getting honest people fired because self-checkouts also enable autistic and neurodivergent and anti-social people to shop in safety and peace without having a breakdown at the counter because the cashier won't stop asking about your day or if you have a membership card.

Checkout systems should be a 25/75 or 50/50 split.

Old people should not have to wrestle with the untameable beast that is a faulty self-checkout scanner and I, your neighbourhood anti-social autistic, should not have to dread shopping because Kathy is legally obliged to ask me 42 questions before she takes my money.

"Eradicate self-checkouts!"

I would literally rather starve to death than have to engage in More Human Interaction just to buy food. Its already bad enough when I have to apologetically smile at the checkout supervisor because my machine is having an aneurysm over my can of Red Bull.

Acquiring the correct scanner can be key in accurately digitizing your work. CIS scanners are affordable, fast, good for B&W, but fail to capture the broad spectrum of colour and depth you can get with CCD Scanners.

CCD scanners are more expensive, but as most older scanners were CCD style, you can sometimes find them for cheap on the secondary market. I got my Epson for $20 on craigslist. Their mechanisms are more delicate though, so make sure they work before you buy and take care in transporting them.

Search the name and # of the scanner before you buy - you can often find their technical specs from the manufacturer that will let you know whether they're CCD or CIS format.
