The last several times I've been to Lowes they only have self checkouts open. Can you imagine trying to run a 4x8' sheet of plywood or 15' long pipe over the scanner? It's ridiculous.

What are you talking about they have hand scanners. You don't even have to take things off the cart you just grab the scanner and walk around your shopping cart

Dame deal with home Depot. They'll have self checkout only, but maybe they'll have a clerk who will help you to self checkout
