<panto>Oh yes they do!</panto> Although maybe not in all stores.
You get your own scanner to carry round with you and zap the items you choose. Then you take your trolley to the self-service till, scan the "finished" barcode, feed in your credit/debit card, and away you go. No human contact necessary.
Bonus points for: letting your toddler lick the scanner until it produces an error message on the screen; forgetting to leave the scanner behind at the end; getting chosen for a random (audit) re-scan of your overloaded trolley containing a month's shopping. (I have only done two of those.)
