It gets easier if you stop worrying so much about what these strangers think. Tip 15%, let the receipt checker roll their eyes when you walk past, let them judge you on your self-checkout speed, etc. Who cares?
Oh I agree with you. However, the stress does add up, and the businesses escalate to get worse.
I.e. costco introduces self checkout, don't use it, then they start putting people to pester you to use it/try to check your card before you get to where you need (because non-members use self checkout), then they introduce door checking of membership.. all of this is over their desire to reduce staff in the store and force self checkout.
