Historically, I've always tried to use the manned check out lines instead of the self check out to support the cashiers.
Never have and never will use self checkout. I'm paying enough for what I buy without providing free labor as a store checker. Also never give them my zip code, phone number of any other such info they ask for. Typically get: "Oh no, we just want the information to help improve...". Bullcrap. The only thing they want the info for is to enhance their analytics in order to be more profitable.
But I'm not obnoxious about it-- unless they push it. Usually just a simple "No thank your" or, "I'll pass thank you" is all that's needed and the clerk will just punch in something and complete the transaction.
