My other pet peeve is a line of people standing in the queue while there are a handful of empty kiosks. I never figured that one out.
At the 1K area I have never waited more than about 1 minute for someone to come put the tag on my bag if I used a kiosk. It is my home airport so go there a lot.

Of course, I haven't been to SFO in a month and half and they may have changed where everyone checks in.
That process went away a LONG time ago even before they moved the 1K/Premier area back to where it is now. Probably a year ago that they moved back. Don't remember exactly when but was definitely last year sometime.
