Honestly, they affect my anxiety. I get nervous while scanning and the constant commentary from the self-checkout telling me to scan an item or put it in the bag. It makes me feel rushed, causing me to keep looking behind me to see how many people I am holding up. I will absolutely avoid them unless I have only one or two items.
I know it sounds ridiculous, but it takes a lot for me to work up enough courage to leave my home and go to the store without a machine reminding me I suck at ringing things up and how slow I am.
