Yeah I've done self-checkout a lot when picking up five or six items, and it works fine. Having done it for a f'real grocery run at a Wal-Mart once...if it had one of those conveyor belts where you could put all your items, then let you check out, bag and put in your cart, it would work. But you end up with a cart half full of unscanned things and half full of bags.
