 Yeah, I finally hit my limit with Walmart by my house. It's huge, it's 
constantly busy, and they cut back to 6 (SIX!) registers in total (really only 
one or two are ever open), and the rest of it is self checkout.

I was done with that. I'm not getting a discount to scan/bag my own items. I'll 
go to my local grocery store, pay about 25% more, and have someone take care of 
it for me.

I mean, that's what I said up until a couple weeks ago when suddenly 
self-checkout became my best friend because It allows me to completely avoid 
people.  Both of my parents are 85/86, my dad has diabetes (type 1, has had it 
nearly his whole life), and COVID-19 will likely kill him if he gets it. My 
wife has a terrible immune system, tons of health problems and likely would 
wind up hospitalized from COVID-19 at the very least. I'm following all the 
precautions I can, because I don't want to be the vector to spread it to my 
family.
