    Don’t feel bad, you earned it. Imagine how it’s cheaper for companies to pay god knows how much on anti-theft measures instead of paying a living wage to cashiers.

    ps. You should never use self checkout. We’ve all been tricked into thinking we can do it better/faster ourselves.

        LOL companies actually encourage this fake bullshit. It’s called “adding value to the relationship” Bet you didn’t realize that someone putting your canned beans and tampons into paper bags constituted a relationship.

      I use self-checkout because I have a “20% off your entire cart” coupon that I don’t want to give up. When I scan it, I just put a random piece of paper into the slot so the machine registers that I put something in there. In this way, I kind of am getting paid to scan my own groceries.

      Fuck off, it’s faster for me and I vastly prefer it. Quicker, less need to deal with other people and there’s no rush to bag your stuff. If you don’t want to use self-checkout then don’t.

      I go to self checkout because my closest supermarket has one cash register and the queue is always like 6 old people

      Because the companies get free labor. I refuse unless it’s legit rush for something.

        I wonder if people were pissed off that they had to go through the shop picking up products instead of having the shopkeeper do that for them.

      The grocery store should also plan out my meals, drive me to their store, put the items in the cart for me, and then scan them all for me. Also they need to drive me back home instead of outsourcing that to me, and then they need to cook supper for me or they’re just cheaping out.
