Agree with the waiting at Walmart, although some stores are better than others. However, the clerks in the 2 WMs I frequently go to are very careful about cutting. I am rarely shorted fabric because of bad cutting there. I'm not too concerned with whether long or short snips to the fabric are used when cutting at WM because they have that groove to cut down.

I just returned a fabric piece to our local fabric store (not a LQS). It was cut so badly, there was almost 4" short on one end after I straightened and lined up the selvages. Many of their bolts of fabrics are wrapped on those cardboard bolts crooked. But they still cut the fabric exactly as it comes off the bolt. Not their fault they said. But I was able to exchange the fabric with a newly cut one, after she lined up the selvages.

I would prefer that I interact with an actual human being. However with that being said, WALMART could use one of these as I always have to pick the phone up and ask for assistance in fabrics. Sometimes, I have to ask 3 times before someone comes to cut my fabric. With computers being everywhere, human interaction can be nice!!

I doubt it. The cost of groceries hasn't gone down since self-serve checkouts have been introduced.

I would love to use one of these cutters in a certain "coupon driven" fabric store we all go to at times. The store in our area has a huge turn over in employees. Most of them know very little about fabrics or the proper way to cut them. I always have to keep an eye on what they are doing. Yep, I'd use this dandy cutting machine in a heart beat.
