I'm not sure if paying for your groceries makes you entitled.
With the line of 7 or 8 people holding 3 items waiting behind them I thought it was a bit selfish not to use one of the four open staffed lanes.
You're technically supposed to use a human cashier lane if you have a lot of groceries. At least in the USA, it's pretty common for self-checkout lanes to have "15 items or fewer" signs.
Depends on the stores these days, in my experience. Some stores are scheduling fewer cashiers after installing more self checkout lanes and have removed signage about item limits in self checkout. If you want a human cashier, you have to wait a while because there might only be one on shift so you get a line.
Not in my area. Stores have both regular self-checkout lanes and express (<15 item) self-checkout lanes.
