      You’d think so, but even then I feel pressure. People go to the self checkouts for the quick and convenient process . Then here I am holding EVERYONE UP trying to gather my bags and fumbling around with my receipt. Every time.

      Did a self checkout recently at a store I’d never been to before. Went through pretty smooth, shoved receipt in my pocket, and then saw they had little security gates and a receipt scanner, so I had to fish out the crumpled paper from my pocket, fumble around trying to find the barcode thing, and of course it also had a random QR code that I tried to scan for like a minute until the security guard had to come over and help me. Luckily it wasn’t that busy, but if there had been someone waiting behind me it woulda been a nightmare.

      Nope. Back in my day we got service buying gas. Now I have to pay more for gas and do it myself. You are destroying a society, and to a point making somebody not being able to have a job for as long as possible. You pay extra and corporate benefits

      Yeah except the exact change, coupon hounds and just generally dim folks tie those up too. And it’s a 4:1 fuck up.

      I was in Home Depot and some donut was trying to buy a grill he wheeled in from the display outside through self checkout. The. Demanded to not have a floor model. Tied up the cashier for a hot minute. Meanwhile another old lady started flagging down some rando to help with a coupon that I’m fairly sure was fucking years expired. And some third poor soul had a legit problem but was in donut purgatory for a bit.

      The checkout line guy was literally faster. But I wasn’t in a hurry and was just enjoying the show and letting others cut and go through the non self checkout. It was fucking mesmerizing.
