They're not charging more at the self checkouts. I do most of my grocery shopping at Walmart. I prefer the self checkout, because I'm faster and more efficient than the cashiers they have (I worked in retail 40 years, so I'm actually trained to be good at it). Once in awhile an incorrect price shows up, so I press the help button, an employee shows up within a minute, verifies that it's the wrong price on their little ipod, and adjusts the price. It's not a common thing, but it does happen sometimes. If it happens on the self-checkout, it's also happening on the cashier's register. It's a system error, not an intentional scam.
