Remember that multibillion dollar corporations are pushing you to self checkout because they are too cheap to pay someone minimum wage to work a register. The boomers are right.
Alternatively, self-checkout is a great way to shoplift from big corporations destroying civilization and the habitability of the planet.
Doo Doo Doo.... Doo! π
I refuse to voluntarily pay for bags. How many bags did I use? Zero, motherfucker!
You wear shoes to go grocery shopping, right? Do this once, then keep the bags next to your shoes so you remember to reuse them maybe a half dozen times.
Boom now youβre saving the environment and money.
Saving the fucking environment. LMFAO
ur no fun take a joke
some people donβt want it wait for a million years for the person in front of them with 600 items to get through.
Some solutions are not just about solving one thing or a personal attack.
Tell that to people that could have had jobs as a cashier that those machines have taken away.
May the hammer of Enoch do it's work.
Doing less work has been the primary motivating factor behind basically all of human progress. The problem is that the savings is lining shareholder pockets instead of reducing employee workload.
Yep, hence the Luddite reference.
I will, no problem. Luddites have no place today, thank you.
Heck, cashiers are still wprking where I live. One of them just gets assigned to 6 or 8 self checkouts instead of normal register.
woosh
Oh no, automation getting rid of shit jobs people didn't like already, the horror
Just learn to code right bro. You dumb ass libs always assume everyone is as skilled as you and every job you don't want to do is lesser. Some people like being cashiers.
Get back at me when you learn some labor theory and intersectionalize more.
Lol, no, don't put words in my mouth, dickhead
Swing and a miss
Even BIGGER miss. I'm an asshole and assume most people are far less skilled than me, and am regularly proven right
Your words, not mine, I don't consider cashier's to be lesser to me in any way unless they, as an individual, give me reason to
Yeah, you'll notice you said "some" and not "most", so what's your point, exactly?
Get back at me when you learn how to discuss what was said and not prop up a shitty strawman
There is no automation getting rid of a shit job. The customers now have the privilege to do that job for themselves.
Pick one: it's losing people their jobs, or it's not
Quite prefer doing it myself, none of my local stores have any of the issues listed elsewhere on the thread. Must suck for them but that's not a reason to not progress
That is definitely one of the reasons to skip self checkout.
Like you're not waiting for the person in front of you in self-checkout to fumble their way through scanning those items? Who do you think is faster at it, the boomer in front of you in line or someone who does it all day? You're just buying into the bullshit narrative you're being fed.
Self-checkout has almost always been faster for me. No bullshit narrative, just actual experience.
When's the last time someone checked you out?
never π₯²
Don't remember. All I know is that the average time I've spent waiting for when doing self-check is shorter than the average time waiting when not.
Next time your feeling social or not it a rush have someone check you out. Hell you can even do it if there's a cute bean working.
We should strive to automate as many jobs as possible. Not try to keep tedious jobs from disappearing.
Those multibillion dollar corporations will have to keep adapting to the world, one way or another. They should be able to handle an automated world, Or we might need to bring out the torches and pitchforks.
That's one of The reasons I don't use the self checkout. Also since I want to pay with cash and can't do that at the self checkout.
And that is why I stopped using them. Actually, I just order online for most things and curbside pickup.
Just wait until bots or drones just deliver it to our doorstep. I will never need to see another human again!
Edit: /s, to be clear. I want to see how many people actually agree/disagree.
People can deliver to our door without us having to interact.
