If there are bags at the end in the customer-facing areas, then you can bag. If you have to walk your happy tail around to the other side of the counter, then you need to check yourself.
I can't tell you how much I enjoy arguing bout this.

I am cracking up picturing this. I have never done this. I relent control if I do not have easy access to bags.
Also my Costco people suck and torpedo your avocados down the conveyor like freaking Nolan Ryan. Do not like.

If I were the checker in this situation, I would punch someone who got all up in my space like that.*
*probably not, I'm not particularly physically violent. But I would set them aflame with my words and gaze of hatred.

this floors me. People really do this?!!
yes!! I see it all the time. The store I frequent doesn't have those bags at the end for customers, and I always see people hustling and bustling right next the cashier, generally making a spectacle of themselves.

I always use self checkout (even when I have a cart FULL of stuff) so I can both bag my own groceries and watch to make sure everything scans right. I hate the way they always want to put my bananas on top of my bread or the bleach on top of the chips. And, I hate that at my grocery store, you can't easily see what things are ringing up. So, I'm the annoying person who uses self checkout for my enormous order. But it beats having the cashier pissed off at me for rearranging my bags as she hands them to me or getting mad b/c I yell out "Hey, that didn't ring up right, it's 4 for $10 not 4 for $15. FIX IT NOW!"
My H hates taking me grocery shopping
The bolded is kind of obnoxious. I am really hoping that you don't actually speak to people that way. Pointing out a mistake is one thing but saying, fix it now, is next level.

I would hate to take you grocery shopping too.
Kind of?
lol the more I think about it the more obnoxious it is. I'm glad I'm not alone in my feelings.
Also, whyyyyy would you want to ring up a basket full of groceries on your own? I will do self checkout for a handful of items but it feels like it takes me forever to get through it.
I recently discovered grocery pick up and it's been life changing. I hate everything about grocery shopping.

I AGREE! It asks far too many questions in a slow and deliberate manner and scolds me for not putting the item in the minuscule bagging area.

I always do. regardless of my order size and if there are baggers there then I ask them to assist someone else so I can bag my own. I'm a bit particular....
I need to see a Venn diagram of helpful people vs people who just want to control how their shit is bagged.
Don't forget the people who feel sorry for the baggers for having to do menial labor for minimum wage.
I take it a step further and bring them an orange mocha frappucino, sit them down in the little kid car cart and give them a pedicure while my husband bags.

The only store I will do "unlimited item" self checkout is Meijer. And that's only because it takes f o r e v e r to go through a lane with a cashier. I don't know what it is about that damn store but there is no such thing as a "quick trip".

The damn scales at the self-checkout tick me off. I DID put the item in the bag, damn it! And don't get me started on self-checkout when the kids are with me...
I only do self-checkout if the other lines are terrible.

I usually shop at Wegman's and the cashier bags as they check you out. They must teach a process to it in their training because they are almost always super quick and efficient. They obv have a method to it as well. They do a really good job there.

I thought about this thread while I was checking out at my grocery store this afternoon. The cashier had a bagger, and she was bagging some stuff as she was scanning, so 90% of my order was already scanned and bagged before I was even done unloading my cart.
In case anyone cares (you don't) my raw meat was in its own bag, all my cold items were in one bag, and the teen bag boy crammed the following into a single flimsy plastic bag: 3 Larabars, a box of taco shells, a bag of granola, a pack of lo mein noodles, 1.75 lbs of bananas, 2.25 lbs of grapes, a bell pepper, and an entire loaf of Texas toast. I'm not sure how he got it all in there without the bag ripping on me, and one of the Larabars was totally smooshed, but my noodles weren't broken and the bread was on top, so I'm good.

There must be something wrong with my TJ’s. They are the slowest of them all so I always bag there. And they talk so damn much if you are just standing there! I’d prefer not to discuss my grocery choices, thanks.

I normally hate grocery checkout small talk, but I actually like it when the TJ employees comment on my choices. They always have nice things to say. It's so validating lol.
