Where do I clock in?

I'm faster than anyone who works there, and I don't need to worry about long lines (usually the self checkout is the faster option). The time saved is my payment.

I don’t want it to become the only option, but I actually prefer the self checkout.

I would be faster, if the tills didn't have a bloody delay after placing the item in the bag, before it will scan the next one.

You get a discount depending on how you scan.

If you feel this way then you should never complain about the length of the lines or the speed with which you get through them.

I lose all saved time when trying to get through the exit gate that needs to see my receipt from all angles before letting me through.

where is this that you are made to stop? I just keep walking and say ‘if you wanted to see my receipt then open another cashier lane and scan items yourself. It’s my property now.”

Pretty common in german supermarkets in my experience, at least those that only introduced self-checkout recently (so most of who even got one). The gates need to scan the barcode on your receipt.
Not really a noteworthy timeloss in my experience though.It's still a very uncommon thing in general, my local supermarket even got rid of automated coin counters on normal checkouts again because they worked so bad (refused even slightly dirty coins) and made things slower.

I really like self checkout, tbh. No need to remove my headphones, and it's nice if you're getting a few items.
If I'm getting more than one bags worth of stuff, there's the handheld scanners that you can walk around in the store with, and just put your stuff directly in to the bag you brought with you. Really handy, and quick. -

you queue up all you like boss...
I love the self checkout. No bullshit small talk, no customers stood right behind you breathing down your neck and I can pack my shit without feeling better rushed. to me that's invaluable...

I prefer self-checkout to reduce the amount of having to talk to or look at someone else.

You technically get a discount. I can't say I've ever heard of having enough cashiers. If they hire more at a higher rate maybe they could get more cashiers. This would increase the expense and this increase the prices. Without that, the price now is what you get. A technically lower price than if they paid cashiers more.

Cashiers aren't paid enough to deal with customers. At least when I'm using the self checkout they don't need to engage with me.

It's a pretty solid hill I'm willing to die on. I like people, even if I disapprove of our economic model I will always choose humanity.
The day I choose a machine over people for the sake of expedience, I feel I will be deserving of the isolation I've earned.

How can you be faster when you have to both scan and bag everything, whereas at the human checkout you only have to bag?
