Well the upside to that is they can't possibly be an intimidating presence.

Oh no. I wish you the very best of sneeze avoidance.

That's a lot of times. Do you generally ask everyone to sneeze in your mouth, or do you just eat a select few?

Do you think it's a third time lucky rule?

Why is there a ladder going up to a tiny door on the second floor? Elf house? John McClane entrance?

It's interesting that your more nuanced take is barely breaking even compared to the "video games cause violence" type inflammatory take you replied to.

We all came here to make fun of the dumb twitter post and then comments with the same energy are being applauded.

It's obviously a very scary snek made to scare people to death.

It's still incest mate. Even if you make it legal incest.

It is 100% implementation. In other countries there's either a staff member watching over all the self checkouts to make everything go smoothly, or a kind of electronic gate that only let's you leave after scanning a receipt. Usually the scanners are much more reliable and theres a usable UI. Plus a modicum of trust. Also thise hand scanners you can carry around the shop so you don't have to do it at the end (although I think if seen some of them around now).

In the UK there's usually the weight detection mechanic that slows things down 10x and no interactivity with the machine other than it loudly telling you you're doing it wrong. You often need to ask for help anyway.

If it was a quick and easy experience the scheme wouldn't fail.

"Would you like fries with that?"

"Would you like to supersize that?"

"We have an offer on..."

"Paying by card? Type your pin into that well used machine. Cash? OK hand me the piece of paper that have touched hundreds of hands and maybe nostrils"
