Correct, which is why no matter how fast you are at the checkout part it’s still going to be slower, especially if you’re trying to bag things in any way other than “dump stuff into bag as fast as possible” - you can’t both be scanning an item and putting an item on the bag at the same time unless you’re just dropping it there without looking (which is a problem if anything you’re buying is in a glass bottle or jar).

Yes, of course you can lol.
This is starting to sound more and more like a skill issue than anything else.
Either way, I don’t mind if you choose the regular checkouts. It keeps the self checkout queue free for the rest of us 😀

The only way you can just scan and put it in the bag in one movement is like cashiers do it - pass it in front of the scanner with the barcode facing it, them just let go of it, all as one movement.
If you’re actually placing it in a specific position in a specific bag you have look at it, pick it up, pass it in front of the scanner, look at where you’re going to place it and place it.
The last two steps are additional to what a cashier does around here (were they don’t do bagging) hence the process is slower if a single person is doing all those steps rather than just the first 3, and that won’t change no matter how elitez your unpaid cashier skillz are.
This is seriously basic stuff and the principle behind Industrial Assembly Lines.
But, hey, if you’re happy doing it that way, good for you.
Sure but the queues eat but your 2 seconds of time savings.
You are also heavily exaggerating the amount of effort and time kt takes to place objects into a bag.
Looking and deciding where to place objects and actually placing them aren’t separate steps, it’s one continuous motion. Normal people take the placement decisions while moving the object into the bag.
Bagging isn’t exactly rocket science.
Or are you just absolutely incapable of multitasking? While eating do you look at the plate and ponder what piece to eat next and then you execute your grabbing maneuver. After you have done that do you think over the best way to move your fork over to your mouth and then you stop and open your mouth. After the month is open do you then move your food into your mouth…
No, of fucking course you don’t. You just eat. I’m very sorry if that is the way you live but most people can make decisions on their next moves without interrupting their current move

Shopping isn’t comparable to industrial assembly lines. If it were the human would be cut out completely and every object would pass through a 365 scanner or something instead.
Either way the most optimal way of shopping is what we often use in larger grocery stores in Sweden. Hand held scanners where you carry a scanner around the store and scan items before putting them in your bags and when you are don’t you dock the scanner and pay, and you are done.
