8. I make it a point to avoid the self-checkout.
There have been times when I've had only a couple of items to purchase and have gotten in line behind someone with a full cart. It usually happens that the person 'helping' at the self-checkout will invite me to the machines, and my reply is always, "Thanks, but those machines put people out of work. I won't help with that." The employees are usually surprised and usually smile in response. The only cranky glares I get are from other customers.
