I guess there is good and bad with either style. I generally prefer the self checkout because I can bag my own stuff

My costco "self checkout" is really just an employee scanning your things and then you box them. Does move quicker than the standard lanes, though.

Several times, but not recently, Walmart self-checkout machines would reset after I scanned the first item, I dunno why. But I figured I did my part by scanning it, so I didn't re-scan it, even though I knew it had reset. I could just play dumb, which isn't hard for me, if anyone asked. No one ever asked, but they upgraded the software, and it stopped doing that.
The employees seem a bit happier as attendants than cashiers, so I guess that's a good thing. I don't know how many lost their jobs to the machines, though.
I'll admit that I'm happier with self-checkout, because I almost never need to wait in line anymore.
