I really and honestly prefer self-checkout, but then I did actually work on a checkout for a while in my teens, so maybe I'm unusually comfortable with doing it myself. (And I have a lot of human interaction and emotional labour in my life and I often find it a relief to just use the machine rather than navigate another social interaction.)
My dad likes the version where he takes the scanner round the shop doing the weekly "big shop" and then doesn't have to unload and reload the trolley at the end. As that's a model of food shop that depends on a car, I very rarely do it, and haven't ever bothered to jump through the hoops to self-scan a trolley load on the occasional car trip. (I guess our weekly big shop is the online delivery, which is another model again.)
