I'm reminded of the Honda Fit discontinuation in the US.

There was a nice article comparing the Fit to the then Fit-based HRV. The HRV handled, braked, and accelerated worse, and got worse gas mileage. It didn't gain any significant headroom or legroom, but gained about of foot of space in the beind-the-seats cargo area.

The upshot? Its base price was $4,500 more than the Fit they were discontinuing.

Seriously.

The last two self checkout machines I used were just awful. I'm pretty sure I could design a better machine in a weekend. Seriously. The one at my local grocery store seems to accumulate all weight errors, not just take the start of each scan as tare so that by 4-5 items it's inevitable that you'll have a bagging area error. Repeat every 4-5 items and wait for the one person on 8 self checkouts, all doing the same thing?

I don't even bother with them unless I only have 1-2 items.
