For me, it isn’t the interactions, it’s the inconvenience of having to wait in line and either wait for a checker to scan my items or scan them myself at self checkout. I don’t mind small talk with the checker, but faster grocery trips would be awesome.
Stores I go to have lines for both. For me, it’s about how I didn’t want to go to the shop in the first place and I want to do as little as possible there while I listen to music on my earbuds. I also prefer to pack my stuff without someone right there… the pressure!
The issue isn’t self check or in person or whatever for me, it’s having to wait in a line at all. Being able to just walk out takes so much less time than checking out.

You need to ask yourself, why the rush? For me it was/is social anxiety. Hated the store. Hated shopping. Rush rush in out go go go.
Once I worked on that, I found ways to make it much more tolerable. Now the five minutes in line are just five minutes I can play on my phone.
Because I’d rather be doing anything else at home that I can’t do while in line at the grocery store.
