I imagine my gripe being when I'm stuck behind someone who can't work the machine. I use the self checkouts at the grocery store, and the game I play is to complete my purchases before the others already there. Sometimes I lose badly when there's someone under thirty with only two items, but so often there are people who constantly struggle with "scan, bag, repeat." This may change as I gradually become the old person unable to fathom new technology, but right now basic self checkouts can be a struggle for many.
