I love self checkout. It allows me to avoid most of social interactions and physical proximity with strangers, making the experience just that much less uncomfortable.

You're right that it's being used against the employees, everything that possibly can will in this system, that doesn't make it inherently bad.

It should be an option, together with a well paid, well treated (let them sit ffs) workforce.

I'm not the most social person myself, but I can still comfortably stand 2m away from a cashier, say "Hi", "Card", "Thanks, bye". That's all the interaction that is needed, and it's still a lot more relaxed than having some poor dude ask me to unpack all my shopping to check if I accidentally forgot to scan a yoghurt. So no, thanks I'll boycott self checkout as long as possible.
