I don't recognize these pain points. I always use the self checkout and it's usually quick and painless. My experience is.

Edit: seems I made the assumption that everyone uses wireless scanner handles.

When we enter the store we scan the ID to get a wireless scanner handle.
Collect your wares, scan with the handle, placing them directly into the bags along the way.
Put the handle back and blip your membership id (card or qr code on phone) again to start the checkout.
Blip your payment card.
Walk out

Every once in a while I get caught in a random check, which is kind of a pain, but it's so infrequent that it is acceptable.

Is this not how it usually works?

It works like that for me too. Even better if your list is short enough to avoid getting a cart.
