Consider the store's side of this.
It's hard to find employees because Gen Z doesn't want to work.
Self-service lanes also helps cut the store's operating costs--which helps them keep prices lower than they would have been if they used a lot more checkout people.
As far as early-morning self service only, that's the calculus they make as far as shopper volume. I'm sure if you had a load of groceries and asked nicely for assistance (esp. for visually or physically impaired people), they would be happy to oblige.
But hey, if you want to raise your blood pressure with being outraged over trivialities, go for it.
