Here, let me summarise the article:

gently caress human interaction! (◕‿◕✿)

Seriously, I've got nothing against SB-Kassen as is (except that they're in no way faster than a human cashier, at least not yet) but when the main argument seems to be that having to interact with the cashier is so annoying then just lmao

Denke ich an Kassiererinnen, denke ich nicht an Augenkontakt oder Smalltalk, sondern an die Nervosität, die mich, drei Kunden bevor ich an der Reihe bin, befällt. Es ist der Zeitpunkt, an dem ich mich bereit mache: Die Musik aus den Ohren nehme, das Portemonnaie suche, die EC-Karte bereithalte. Im Kopf noch mal schnell den Pin durchgehe. Den Jutebeutel ausschüttele; alte Kassenzettel fliegen auf den Boden. Egal, alles muss raus. Denn gleich muss ganz schnell ganz viel rein. Gleich muss ich funktionieren.

Ich treffe letzte strategische Entscheidungen: Lege die Milch ganz vorne aufs Band, die Eier als letztes. Jetzt bin ich dran: Noch bevor ich "Guten Tag" über die Lippen gepresst habe, beept schon der erste Milchkarton. Es geht los. Kein Mensch schafft das ohne Tricks. Meine Überlebensstrategie an der Discounterkasse: Im Mittelfeld zwischen Milch und Eiern möglichst viel kleines, unverpacktes Obst und Gemüse streuen. Ingwer, Paprika, Kiwis: Hauptsache, es ist unverpackt und lässt sich nicht in Sekundenschnelle über den Scanner ziehen. Das Wiegen kostet Zeit. Zeit, um die Müslipackung und das Klopapier vom Band zu nehmen. Zeit, um kurz durchzuatmen. Geht leider nicht immer gut. An schlechten Tagen fallen die losen Kiwis in einem Moment der Unachtsamkeit dem Kassierer vor die Füße. An besonders schlechten Tagen gehen mir die verächtlichen Blicke des Kassierers nah. Und jedes Mal ringe ich mir zum Schluss trotzdem ein "Schönen Feierabend dann" ab, spreche innerlich dem nächsten Kunden mein Beileid aus und wünschte, es hätte eine SB-Kasse gegeben.

Why wouldn't you just get a cart and do the actual packing after you pay? If your Einkauf feels too small for a cart it's small enough not to have to stress yourself out like that. Jeez Luisa

Every Supermarket I went to in Munich had at least one cashier who was so ethereally beautiful that I would go shopping just to look at them. Can't do that with a self service station.

Also if you don't want to talk to them you don't have to hth

use it or throw it away
Also just being nice and smiling at cashiers and getting a smile back is great. I’m also not always in the mood for human interaction but what’s so hard about being nice to people.
Some cashiers will still be grumpy but most of em are happy for a change after hundreds or thousands of customers being hectic grumpy and/or just plain assholes to them.

I don’t even know what the point of my post is anymore, I guess be nice and people will be nice to you or something.

imo there's exactly two scenarios where getting nervous at a supermarket checkout is warranted:

1. when you're like ten years old, went shopping with your mum and she lets you wait at the checkout while she's off looking at one last scarf or w/e, while the queue in front of you gets smaller and smaller and you're sweating bullets because you don't have any money with you and even if you did you only get an allowance of ten DM a month and blew it all on chewing gun and what if the cashier wants you to pay oh god

2. when you're buying condoms for the first time (but only then)

e: hold on, I thought of a third

3. when you're a broke rear end student and are not sure if there is enough money left on your account to cover everything you wanted to buy

Checkouts at Aldi and Lidl can be quite stressful when you don't use a cart and the shop refuses to provide baskets for some inexplicable reasons. You gotta finish cramming your poo poo into a bag/rucksack, paying and getting out of the line of fire in <10 sec or you start getting the stares and then groans, htbh. Edeka, Rewe, Real, etc. are very chill though

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

I solve this conundrum by not shopping somewhere I don't even get a basket. I'm also utterly shameless, so when I see the possibility to reduce the amount of Kleingeld I'm carrying around by paying as close to the real price as possible, I will spend a lot of time taking out tiny coins one by one

If looks could set things on fire, half of Germany would have been burned down by all the fires I've started

I've met a Goth cashier once. He immediately attacked me, and I had to take his sword in self defense. Now it's hanging as a trophy in my apartment.

Who the gently caress cares what the other peons behind you in the line think and do? Or the cashier? You are a customer, take the time you need - every Rentner does too and takes ten times as long to count all the coins thrice.
