I prefer using the self checkout, I don't consider it work, because I also consider it work to mentally deal with meaningless small talk, and to deal with waiting in line for ten minutes when I'm buying just a few items.
You might feel like it's work for you, and that's fine. You can then use the staffed checkout lanes, which are explicitly there for anyone who dislikes doing self checkout.
The problem isn't doing "work" by using self checkouts, the problem is capitalist cost-cutting, which would be done with or without self checkout machines.
