I live in a small village. In it (and in neighbouring villages) the checkout ladies appreciate (even when it comes with some minor work) the occasional small talk.
(That said, in larger urbanised areas I appreciate self-checkout, because the former cashiers are now free to be wandering around the store, and very helpful for answering questions on locating items)
