To be born at a time were you get to be informed that being neurodivergent is ok, it's not that uncommon and that you can find others like you and THERE ARE BANDS THAT SING SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THAT!

Instead of anonymously putting things in your basket, and going thru self check you'd have to ask someone for each item, make eye contact, maybe even, gasp, small talk, and they'd make suggestions for other things you could buy. There's an olde-tiny hardware store near me that way and it's a pain not being able to browse the aisles or just look at prices and selection/brand choices. You want white spray paint, some can gets plunked down in front of you and if you want gloss, or metal paint,...
or some other variation, you have to wait for the clerk to go back into the shelves, pull out something else so you can see your choices. People suspect that the most expensive brand is pulled out first coz people don't think they can ask if there are other choices--you can't even see the shelves. No customers allowed behind the front counter. Self help when you don't want any public interaction is a big improvement, in, out, no fuss, no judgment on what you buy.
But also you are not waiting for people browsing, its not a 5 mile walk to get things, and the eyesore (and extreme infrastructure demand) of supermarkets are gone. There is a happy medium between the two. Also worrying about the privacy of your items is a bit silly. Everyone can see what is in your basket and the bank knows what you bought and you are on camera with receipt records. Not to mention we are talking food. What kind of food do you need to keep private?

In the long run you're better off not trying to fit in.
All that apologizing and twisting yourself into rings takes a toll, it drastically limits you from reaching what you can be.
If you do stuff you don't like, train yourself to do different shit. It's a PITA but usually doable. But only do it for yourself, not anyone else.

A supermarket is better than the old style store where everything was behind a counter and you told the grocer what you wanted.

How is it better?
