But I also don't want the cashier to silently judge me for buying 4 pastries, an energy drink, a bag of lollies, and a bag of nuts.

Cashiers aren't paid enough to deal with customers. At least when I'm using the self checkout they don't need to engage with me.

The discount you get at the self checkout is the 5 fingered discount.
In every store I've been in, I'm the guy who has to take everything out of my cart and put it on the little conveyor belt thing. Self checkout is a second or two on top of that (which is usually made up by not having to wait in line) with no real additional effort (I'm already picking up and placing my stuff in a specific spot) I also can type in my number for the coupons at the same time I'm scanning my card, and move the bags into my cart as my payment is being processed, which ends up saving even more time.
The only place I appreciate a cashier is when I get a boatload of groceries at Costco, those folks are box-packing wizards.
Why is everyone so adverse to talking to a cashier? Also, you have cashiers that wish to chat?!

Self checkout is a great place to sneak your 10 dollar parmesan in to the 2 dollar head of lettuce
I won't help the company save what they should give to their staff. Fuck self-checkouts.
