He’d be a great internet edgelord if he could figure out how to use the internet. 

He’s as smart as he is handsome.

Want to feel old? The movie Shrek came out 22 years ago.

Let’s see who we got...Thom Yorke....Mark McGrath....Scott Stapp (I think?)...the guy from the Spin Doctors...the guy from the Gin Blossoms...look, I didn’t say it was a GOOD list.

And Trent Reznor. Not only survived, but his sound and career matured.

I don’t buy it anymore, but if I did I certainly wouldn’t go stand in the very long cashier line. There are plenty of associates to help with that purchase. That’s what they’re paid to do. This list is very finicky, imo. And it bugs me that people can’t be patient with folk who aren’t familiar with the screens or how…

One of my local Aldi stores has added self-check. The nice feature there is that the human cashier can see when an alcohol purchase has to be approved, and can do do without leaving their station. One of the (few) advantages to being obviously old is that I’m obviously over 21 and can get approved from across a large…

Yeah, a lot of it is on the store. My preferred store actually has staffed self-check. There is an employee assigned that is actively clearing ID’s and other issues. And you can keep scanning at this location, it just won’t let you pay at the end. So I scan my beer first to get that ID light flashing while I continue…

I love a good steak, but I have never in my life visited a steakhouse.  When I am splurging on a good, fancy, pricey meal, I want something I either can’t or don’t have the time to cook myself.  Peking Duck, Osso Bucco, what have you.  Steak.. eh, even if they are great chefs with the very best dry aged steaks in the…

Almost everyone I see having problems with it has a full cart, takes an item out of their cart, scans it and then puts it back in the cart.

Because self checkout is generally quicker and I don’t have to deal with a person. And I can bag stuff myself better than most baggers do it these days.

I put myself through college as a grocery checker, back in the day when we had a union and had to do stuff like memorize produce codes and had scanning time quotas and bonuses. I prefer self-checkout because I’m faster and more accurate and I actually pay attention when that buy 2/get 1 free promotion isn’t applied.

When the store maintains 2 or maybe 3 “manned” checkout stations, the option is often “add 20 minutes wait to your trip” or “use self checkout.”  Gone are the days of full service in grocery stores.

I like making the machine go “beep”.

This is exactly why a lot of stores have now disabled the scales entirely. Sure, theft has increased, but it’s significantly increased customer satisfaction (customers feel like the kiosks are doing a better job weighing the stuff, even though now they’re not weighing it at all, and honestly, it felt like the kiosks…

I will use self check out when I get a job at the grocery store.

I’ve only been there once and I don’t like cheesecake so I wasn’t aware of the price for them, but I was surprised by the size of the menu because usually you don’t want to carry everything like they do if you want to make money.  And yeah you’re probably right, making them centrally like that probably means each…

I have much less of an issue with people using the self checkout kiosks than I do with the kiosks themselves. “Please place item in bagging area” when I’ve already placed the item in the bagging area or “unknown item in bagging area” because I accidentally tapped the scale while reaching for a bag…shut the fuck up and…

Well, Kinja decided to double-post this, so I’ll use this second comment to note that a) I don’t talk much about the third and fourth episodes because I’m trying to keep this as spoiler-light as possible, and b) if I was giving episode grades to the individual episodes in question, they’d probably go

Episode 1: A
