You may want to try store delivery.  Often there are 14 and 30 day free trials and you can see if it works for you.  

Had Safeway delivery yesterday after starting a 14 day free delivery trial.  It was fine and will sign up full time if there ever is a time when it is needed.

Not often, only if I have a few items. Our super market has an attendant who is very nice & is responsive. She has been there since the self scanners were placed. It takes me too long to self scan.

1. I use the self check out whenever and where ever it is available.  I can pack my bags the way I want it as in, no soap with the food, no frozen items touching cardboard boxed items, etc.  I don't like them squishing my bread or thumping my melons.  I also can catch any errors when the items ring up.  I don't get the reasoning that you don't work as a cashier for the store.  I am not a gas attendant but I still have to gas up myself......Don't know why that #1 appeared at the beginning of my post, but I can't delete it..

Never.  

If that is the only option I leave the store without buying.

I rarely use them.  I've had two spinal fuisons and walking around the store, getting what I need, putting it up on the belt, getting in the car, getting it in the house and then putting it where it belongs is enough for me.  If I have to scan and bag also the entire process is too much for my back.

I'm proud to say I've never done a single self check out.  I mostly buy everything I need online and had grocery pick up for several years then started grocery delivery, all before the self check out craze started before Covid. 

I have no idea how it's done.

I'm usually at the store (Walmart) before there is a cashier available, so I use the self checkout there and use cash. At Wegman's I use a cashier  and cash as their self check only does debit or credit. I still use cash whenever I can.

Just one more example of customer service disappearing and cost cutting at customer expense. Besides, there always seems to be a glitch requiring an attendant to intervene. I despise them.

@Jo1313  I have never used a self checkout. No plans to.

Never use them, even for smaller amount of items.  The stores are having customers do the work but don't see any benefit for me to do so.
