I hear it happen to a stranger almost every time at Lucky or Safeway.
Happens to me if I try to scan even half as fast as they do at the real checkout scanners.
See my comment here for my recent revelation. In short: the problem isn't with self checkouts, it's that the stores you're going to aren't maintaining them well.
To shoppers, that is a distinction without difference.
Except that the big companies can use that misconception to shuffle the rightful blame around so you don't focus it in the right place.
