Because gas stations don’t have those stupid scales and give the message “place the item in the bagging area” >

Or "please wait for cashier" so much for not talking to anybody on my high shopping trip. >

This ^ makes me wanna drop everything and leave >

I have just left my purchase and walked out before. More than once. 
The best was when I was doing it and the self checkout only had room for one bag. I had about 3 bags of groceries. So once I filled a bag I took it and put it in my cart which caused the whole machine to alarm and stop. 
Th cashier starts to berate my angrily so I said fuck this shit “literally” and just stormed off. >

As an older guy now. Half my self checkouts get abandoned if things don't work. Just walk out, the company doesn't have much invested in it anyway. >

Doesn't that inconvenience you more by forcing you to run a second errand to get your items? >

better than dealing w crappy self checkouts... spent about 20 minutes dealing with the 'item removed from bagging area' over a bunch of bananas during a post christmas shop with my cousin. and the staff weren't listening at all so it kept going off and they kept on having to fix it >

Plus, you help by making them staff registers, giving job opportunities to those who want part time job while in high school. That also includes people than can work but have limited skills.  
If you are  one of those anyone on welfare who can work should work, no matter the job. You can have people working registers or they'll have to forced to take jobs  calling you selling car warranties.  That choice is your's....
The way I figure it the store can ether pay to staff the registers or pay for the staff to return all the items back to the shelf from me walking out, for failing to staff the store. They've over played their shoplifting is hurting you card despite having far better controls where  crates of items don't just fall off the back of trucks as a normal part of business.  Loss as been on the decrease for decades due to better shipping tracking and inventory controls.
I'm aslo not held hostage to my filled shopping trolley/cart like so many here. That  sunken fallacy keeps them waiting , instead or writing off the loss and going elsewhere. Reward the businesses that staff their stores.
If the manager won't open a register when each has 8-10+ people all with full carts, screw them. After 15-20 minutes in line waiting , I'll help them out by leaving. The Mangers  can loose their bonus for skeleton crewing, by having employees stay longer to return items to the shelves, if more people did this, the employee hours to items sold ratio would change, and they would staff to get the items through registers for the sales, not to be returned to the shelves repetitively to avoid loss numbers.
Besides 
If you hurt your back working for the company bending over putting items in their bags, are they going to cover you for worker's comp for the medical? Plus your lost wage, which will be what  66% of your income  minus the required attorney fee (which is  25-33% ) due to the insanely corrupt & complicated system. Which what was your payrate again, oh yeah  nothing...
Since you are literally working for the company, they need to pay you and that includes their share of the employer taxes. What they hate this and since every self check out is a different employee, and should be counted as such.  For the different employer with X number of employee requirement tiers for benefits. If Business don't like this, they can  reduce their employee numbers by having their own regular paid employees.
Finally as an employee working for the company, by  being forced to do self check out, I want my employee discount. >

Probably because most people don't know full service ever existed. >

I really hate full service though. It feels weird. >

It’s like having a stranger trim your pubes. >

You americans really are weird man >

Yeah, noone in Europe trims their own pubes.
