I use the self checkout if I have less than 10 items. Any more than that, or any items with inventory control tags, and I'm in the regular line--the only store where I live that has them is Fred Meyers (their motto is one-stop shopping, and boy they mean it--they sell everything from bicycles to butter and t-shirts to teapots). It's super-handy late at night, though, when everyone's in the store buying beer (ahh, college town) and the line for the regular cashier is long. It also allows people to mix six-packs of beer (for instance, Deschutes Brewery has about 8 labels FM carries and all of the bottles are nearly identical. I can choose which ones I want and check out myself so that the cashier doesn't notice I've done this). I think it's really funny, though, that some people go through the self-checkout and don't expect to be carded. Silly people.
On a side note I should mention I don't mix six-packs often, unless there are a lot of stray bottles hanging around the Deschutes section of the beer aisle.
