SELF CHECK OUT - is a SCAM.. the stores are SCAMMING you - not the other way around.
I remember as a child shopping with my Mother - she would always interact with the cashiers and when she saw her favorite cashier - she would make a beeline for that person: She didn't care if the line was longer.
My Mother struck weekly friendships with these people - The local family owned Pharmacist - the local Hardware Store..etc... She was always happy to see her "people"... I always remember - running errands with her as being pleasurable... not robotic and lifeless.

We need to Make America Great Again and its starts with the Brick and Mortar/ Family owned business... even though there is hardly any around - BIG BOX/Corporate stores are getting rich - not the PEOPLE.
