Who the gently caress is Mr. Beast and why is he being advertised at me constantly? Is it because I watched something related to gaming on youtube?

I'm pretty sure they only got fixed because I put them on blast at Facebook

And it’s like you and Target both save money because they aren’t paying a cashier $12 an hour. We write software for self-checkouts at work now. Those loving bag-weighing scales are the worst, cuz depending on configuration either they're so sensitive they alert on literally everything, or they're so insensitive you can basically do whatever you want. Generally they start out as the first thing, and then rapidly get turned into the second thing once they realize it's a waste of time.

My mom went into a Walmart the other day and said they had two or three checkout lanes with actual cashiers open, and about 7-10 self-checkout lanes open. The self-checkout lanes weren't currently accepting cash so all the Florida old people were crammed into mile long lines for the regular checkout. She said she overheard one woman saying she had been waiting to get to the register for 20 minutes. I wonder if this is old people refusing to use cards because they didn't have to when they were younger, if they think cashless society is the mark of the beast, or (most likely) both.

That's the thing, I don't know. It's set up by the store and we just hook into it. Sometimes it's just turned off entirely. Point of sale systems are a goddamn mess.

Self-checkouts suck because you can't use them (the ones I've seen) with gloves on so you'll get the plague off them.

My wife brought home a pound of sliced roast beef from the store the other week. Was $18. She just finished the last of it today and offhandedly remarked that it was way more expensive than she thought and that oops it fell in the bag and she forgot to pay for it. 8 years of marriage and she still finds new ways to make me love her more

It’s a moral obligation to steal from walmart. If they wanted me to not steal they would gave real cashiers and not make me do it unpaid

jetz0r posted:Self checkout lanes are scabs. I guess they're fine if you steal at least an hour or two of wages worth stuff while you use them, as a tax. One time an old roommate and I went grocery shopping at a kroger at like 2am. He bought cold medicine that had pseudoephedrine in it and sort of stalled the machine to call over a cashier, but still let him scan items making noises. When it came time to pay it wouldn't let him until the attendant put in their code. But in the meantime it had not been adding up everything else he scanned. Paid $75 for about $300 worth of groceries haha

I carry cash and a card, and pay with either depending on what would be faster. I also refuse to use self-checkout, BUT if I absolutely have to I do as much as I can to completely gently caress it up and make a hassle that requires a manager to come fix.

My leather wallet activates touchscreens, so I just type with the corner of it. It's just a regular leather wallet my friend gave me. You should try it next time.

When I was working in a different area, every time I would go to the self checkout at the "nice" grocery store the attendant hovered over me making sure I scanned every item. Like drat, I'd only go there when I was heading to that part of town and needed to pick something up on the way. poo poo's overpriced and the same product as the regular grocery store. It made me avoid that place as much as possible, which might be the point?

I moved slightly outside the city and my self-checkout experience went from those tightly calibrated scales with a sentinel hovering over your every move to a store in the same chain that doesn't even have bag scales, they're just unmechanized platforms. It's probably the most embarrassing indicator of bougie status in my life right now.
