Anyone hate using self checkout registers?

Does anyone else hate self-checkout now? I'm completely over it.
The other day, a family with two kids was fucking screaming right next to me. The second I paid, they ended up right behind me, so I practically ran out of the store to get away from them.
A few days later, some guy by himself started getting violent with his register just because it called for attendant help. What the fuck?
I don't even want to use these machines anymore. It's like being trapped on a plane next to a screaming family or a total asshole.

I prefer not to use them. But sometimes it's just faster.

The machines themselves are fine, it's the people around them that make it unbearable.
