I promote self-checkout.  It cuts down on stealing to empower the students.  I put 
a sign on the check-out counter (about 1/2 page size), cover it with plastic.  The 
sign lists the 5 steps to checkout.
 1.  Press ESC
 2.  Type your ID number
 3.  Scan your item(s)
 4.  Press ESC
 5.  Stamp the due date in your item

However, my desk is close enough that I can "hear" checkout.  If one of the alarm 
sounds happens, I can be right there.  Otherwise, I keep on working undisturbed.
