Why? At least here the self checkout gets exactly the same info from me as the regular one

You mean you can pay with cash? The one I've seen is with making an account with email and online payment, or worse, an app that can extract all sorts of info.

Havent seen one where you can pay with cash, but I have never seen one where you need to make an account to use.

Well then they know your name at the very least and can use and sell your shopping data.
