They aren’t nearly as motivated to go as fast as I am, and they can only bag one person at a time and have lines, while usually there are 4-6 machines wide open for me to jump onto immediately.
I fucking hate going to the grocery store though.
EDIT: also lonely old people will stop and chit chat sometimes slowing shit even more.
Probably just different grocery stores with different patterns and workflows.
My experience is a normal checkout line is usually a reasonable wait so unless someone bought three carts of groceries they’ll get through before too long.
In contrast the self checkout is a clusterfuck of idiots who don’t know how to use it, people not sure where to stand while they wait because there aren’t really lines, and 1 frazzled attendant trying to cover 6-8 people simultaneously screwing up their self-checkout.
Ugh, yeah, i hate customers that take their damn time. if there’s no line, i may go to a traditional register, but i highly prefer waitig for self check out rather than waiting for a cashier
My experience has been the opposite, I feel like they were treated as marvelous futuristic wonders at first, and now the more time passes the more I see people opposed to them. I suppose it just depends who you spend your time with.

On this we agree!

I didn’t realize this was such a contentious subject.
When this first became a big thing like 15 years ago, I feel like most people hated them. Then it becomes normalized, society shifts.
I’m introverted, I liked them immediately.
