im surprised more people aren’t getting audited by the IRS. remember when thot audits were a thing?

I use self-checkouts almost exclusively. The only time I need a human employee is one I try to buy air-duster for my computer or super glue to fix a broken cup or NyQuil cause I have a cold and have to have someone there verify that “Yes, I am, in fact, over the age of 18".

There are fewer better poster children for shitty automation than self-checkout. I have literally never, as in not one single time, successfully completed a checkout at a self-service station in a grocery store without having to call a human employee over. And it’s not because I’m an idiot. Or not entirely, anyway.…

Yes. I have had plenty of successful, employee-free self checkout experiences. The few that I do need someone for I know I will now (ex: buying spray paint at Home Depot, because of ID checks). I did retail cashiering for awhile, I know how to bag my shit and get out.

BUT, I want to start a rule: If you are at a store…

Counter-point: Self-checkout (when properly configured and working) is the best.

Yo this is horseshit, get a real job to support your family you fucking scrub. You got lucky.

You catch on quick, my friend.
