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! 🌠

I refuse to voluntarily pay for bags. How many bags did I use? Zero, motherfucker!

[–] spujb@lemmy.cafe 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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 you’re saving the environment and money.

ur no fun take a joke

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

That is definitely one of the reasons to skip self checkout.

[–] johannesvanderwhales@lemmy.world -3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Self-checkout has almost always been faster for me. No bullshit narrative, just actual experience.

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.

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] bitchkat@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

People can deliver to our door without us having to interact.
