    some people don’t 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.

        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.

              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

                You dumb ass libs

                Swing and a miss

                assume everyone is as skilled as you

                Even BIGGER miss. I’m an asshole and assume most people are far less skilled than me, and am regularly proven right

                and every job you don’t want to do is lesser

                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

                Some people like being cashiers

                Yeah, you’ll notice you said “some” and not “most”, so what’s your point, exactly?

                Get back at me when you learn some labor theory and intersectionalize more.

                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.

            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.
