minus-square@flango@lemmy.eco.brlinkfedilinkEnglish5•6 months agoYou do the work for the company and pay them! Fuck self-checkout!!
minus-square@RivalarrivallinkEnglish14•6 months agoThe value added by a cashier is not worth the amount of time I expend waiting for them to become available. Self checkout is a win for me and for the retailer. You are free to wait for a full-service cashier if you like. I’d rather be on my way.
minus-square@yokonzo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish4•6 months agoNah fuck that, I don’t have to talk to a single person, don’t have to wait in line, don’t have to have forced smalltalk, it’s great
minus-squarek-radlinkfedilinkEnglish1•6 months agoYes shuffling from point a to point b without interaction is living
minus-square@yokonzo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish1•6 months agoWho are you to decide what is “living” for me
minus-squarek-radlinkfedilinkEnglish4•6 months agoI thought lemmy was anarchists and you have everyone simping for the corporate food overlords, what gives?
minus-square@aceshigh@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish-6•6 months agoWhat I’m annoyed by is when going to a cashier they expect you to bag your own groceries, and give me attitude when I ask them to do it. I much rather prefer self check out. I don’t need to deal with the attitude.
