Depends on the store you go to. If your pharmacy has self checkout, then most people will be carrying baskets, big box retailers and grocery stores, people tend to carry alot more groceries than is normally allowed and they tend to clog up lines. Especially at places like walmart. Also may depend on where you live.…

I think you’re confusing the hypothetical optimal scenario in which self checkout is intended to be used vs. the reality of what actually occurs. 9 times out 10 people will max their cart and run through self checkout anyways because they think that it’s faster and this always bogs down the line. Even if you compare a…

Oh I agree, self service gas is definitely faster. I just prefer not having to get out of my car to pump my own gas. Especially when it’s raining or really cold. If you don’t go at prime gas pumping times (right before work and right after work) or pump your gas on a busy road you basically don’t have to wait.

That’s what most people do tho which is why that system is flawed. People are what cause the system to be ineffective most of the time and it isn’t as efficient as it could or should be.

to each his own.

Well by suggesting we keep obsolete jobs around just for the sake of employing people, you’re either doing that or being logically inconsistent.

Anyone else notice all the comments ( youtube and other sites) blaming SJW’s for the failure of this game? I had so many videos on my feed the past few weeks with all these people blaming SJW’s for adding ugly people and minorities and making the main default characters ugly to be more inclusive. There was even one…

Creating jobs is easy. It’s the creation of value that is hard. If creating jobs is your main concern, then we should immediately begin destroying all farm machinery, thus creating millions of jobs overnight.

In the 10 years I’ve been driving I’ve NEVER had to get out of my car to punch pins in to pay for my gas when there was an attendant. Do you not have credit and debit available to you with your bank card ?

Thats wrong tho. Self checkout queues on average are slower than if a cashier just does it themselves. There are plenty of studies disproving that self checkout is faster. It’s almost always slower. The cashier has the benefit of knowledge and experience and also doesn’t have to combat anti theft counter measures…

You can use your voice and ask them to bag them properly or you can insert yourself at the end of the register and bag as you wish if you prefer. If you go to a low quality store like walmart for groceries as well you can usually expect people to be pretty shitty at bagging but you can also bag your own stuff while…

Labor is labor, taking away jobs doesn’t magically create new ones so i’m not sure how you can say that with a straight face. Secondly Jersey has one of the lowest gas prices in the country .... So we aren’t paying too much to prop up those jobs you say you don’t need. Just because you’re well off enough to not need…

I dont know about that. I think companies found a way to increase their bottom line and aren’t going to throw consumers a bone by going with a more expensive operation even if hypothetically it were superior. Self service options are popping up in all industries and most consumers generally are unsatisfied having to…

The trick is, like in all things in life is to be prepared. Do not get gas at busy gas stations and do not fill up before work hours or directly after work hours or to fill up on well traveled and congested routes. If you go to a busy gas station and expect fast service then that’s your fault. I don’t fill up in…

Those taxi medallions are bullshit lol.

its a pc game ............................

I live in jersey and they do the same thing here . I really dont like pumping my own gas. I’d rather not be bothered with having to get out of my car when its cold and / or raining and prefer to have some other guy deal with it. It maintains jobs and offers a service I’m glad is around. Same with cashiers. I would…

when hell freezes over.

Now that i think about it, may be possible that i responded to the wrong comment by accident. I can’t remember what I originally commented on to initiate this thread. MY apologies for that. I had one discussion with a friend that was blaming diversity for marvels sales slump and was looking for more information to…

I was just curious and trying to gain more insight. I haven’t actually read them and if anything more biased toward their success than anything. I was just trying to get a measurement of how they’re doing and what people think of them. I kinda got out of comics cause of the cost and because of all of the cross over…
