I love self-checkout. The line moves much faster. But it is important to learn which machines work well and which ones are most glitchy. Kind of like learning which lane has The World’s Slowest Checkout Clerk.
And if you ring up alcohol you can’t ring up anything else until you get cleared. Other chains I’ve been to let you keep scanning and you get cleared when they have time.
Maybe I’m spoiled. The ones at both local Safeways here are great, except each store has one with a card slot that won’t detect sliding my Safeway card. But recently I learned holding the card over the product scanner works just fine!
If I only have a few things, its great, usually shorter line and scanning my own stuff isn’t a big deal.
When I have a cart full of stuff, I’d rather have the expert just churn through scanning all of that stuff. Especially if there’s someone packing it into a bag at the same time.

I hate the ones at Kroger. If you scan stuff too fast, it freaks out and calls the employee over.
Like, I’m talking about going slower than an actual cashier.
I tried scanning one of those digital coupon things they print on paper and the employee was called over three times in that one transaction.

No criticism here, to each their own.
Then you choose that one.
No, when I see she’s working I definitely go to self-check.
