      We all make decisions like that daily. Just because I’m choosing one slightly more convenient shitty thing over another doesn’t mean the one I’m choosing is good. It just has a utility. It also only has that utility because the other option is being actively neglected.

      It also wasn’t too long ago that I worked retail, at Walmart no less. Even after self checkout became popular, we’d have 4-10 cashiers depending on the traffic at any given time. They’d even call employees who worked completely different sections, like myself, to run registers if they got backed up.
