I recently had my first experience dealing with an American style self checkout in Germany. That is, one of those self checkouts with the scales that you have to move your items between.

Absolute moronic. At every other store the self checkout doesn’t implicitly accuse me of being a thief. Oopsie daisy, guess I’m never going to that store again. It has too much sensory overload anyway.

I guess they’ll do literally anything to avoid hiring more staff huh? 👎

This doesn’t even seem like it would stop actual thieves

Next year: pre-emptive handcuffs before you enter the store.

I like how even a reputable news outlet like the BBC now just quotes redditors to give “average joe” reactions to things.
