Don't feel bad, you earned it. Imagine how it's cheaper for companies to pay god knows how much on anti-theft measures instead of paying a living wage to cashiers.
ps. You should never use self checkout. We've all been tricked into thinking we can do it better/faster ourselves.
I use self checkout because I don't want to fake a conversation with the cashier.
I also am particular about how I bag things. I agree with the sentiment of self checkouts being lame and taking jobs and all that jazz, but eh. There's bigger fish to fry than this one, and many people like it anyway
The employees where I shop are underpaid and understaffed. They have to be there for the elderly, kids and differently-abled though. I'm happy to give them a break and scan my own shit. Usually they get to just stand around and talk to each other while I do, if they aren't busy, which makes me feel kind of nice.
