I never have a problem with self checkout here in the UK, mainly using Tesco for grocery shopping. It just works, and I appreciate the convenience.
I've recently started using their service where you scan items with a portable scanner as you go around the shop, and bag them immediately. Checkout is even quicker because everything is already in my bags, and I can see a running total of how much I'm spending. Again, it just works.
What doesn't work is product location discovery. I get that they want me to wander around looking for the coffee or whatever that theyve relocated yet again, because they think I'll make more impulse purchases, but it still frustrates me.

My local Tesco (a small urban one) recently rearranged everything, and put the flour next to the gluten-free products. The only way I can explain this is that this is a sort of Tesco Value Squid Game; in the office upstairs evil billionaires watch coeliacs running the Gauntlet of Gluten.
