When stores near me started to have self-checkouts, I started to use them immediately, and I always preferred them. In the beginning, they had the annoying weight check for every item, but it was mostly fine, and employee interventions were rarely needed, and I don’t recall ever having an employee going through every item; it occasionally happened that one came over, gave my bag a quick glance (not even touching it), and scanned a code on the machine to unlock it and let me go. Also, quite soon, all the stores removed the weight check entirely, and you could just scan all your items and put them in the bag, pay and go. (Just remember to not put away your reciept until after you’ve used it to go through the exit.) It was fine. Then, all the stores removed the possibility of using cash in the self-checkout, so I stopped using them. I haven’t used them since.
