I'm an introvert but still prefer to go through the human checkout lines. It's due to a combination of the anxiety of having the self checkout machine screw up and needing to flag a human over to help, plus interacting with cashiers being one of the few "safe" interactions I've come to expect. Since it's their job I can expect a certain level of professionalism and cordiality and I'm not expected to make small talk. I just smile, say hello, pay, and that's my social quota for the month.

I'm also the type of person who sits quietly in the chair while getting my hair cut and hopes the barber doesn't ask too many questions.

Ah I am the opposite, I prefer the self check outs so that I don't have to talk to anyone. I don't know why but I always feel obligated to think of something to say when going through human checkout. If there's an issue with the machine during check out that can be a bit anxiety inducing but the issues are fairly common so I just sort of shrug and am like "it just started beeping" and they make it stop within a few seconds.

For the same reason I've been cutting my own hair for nearly 6 years now lol

I've been cutting my own hair for the last 14 years for this exact same reason. I still have the same pair of clippers too so I must have hundreds by now
