The self checkout at Lowe's is probably 10x faster than at Home Depot, at least around here. The lame program at HD is so slow, you scan your first item (screwdriver for example) and put it in the bag, grab the next thing ready to scan and the terminal is like "one screwdriver. $3.99. Please put your screwdriver into the bagging area." And you've already done that, so you wait and try to scan the next thing. After a little bit it will scan the next thing and you repeat this process. Just pray you don't annoy it though, or it will make you remove everything from the bagging area.
They probably don't want people making smaller than 12" cuts for safety reasons as it may be difficult to secure the small edge piece in their rig. Also so that people don't ask them to cut up a 4x8' sheet into 96 1" wide strips.
