I was cool with using them (less social interaction, scan and bag at my own pace), but over time I'm getting lazier and lazier
I never understood the "less social interaction" argument. Cashiers don't care if you go through the whole interaction with them without making eye contact and only saying what's absolutely necessary for the transaction. Plus, self checkouts are very picky and if you mess anything up even a little bit they start loudly inviting someone to come help you anyway.
It's not about whether they actually care. It's about whether I'm worried they might care. It's very stressful for neurodivergent people.
