People who refer to companies by their stock symbol outside of actual stock context. MSFT, NVDA, TSLA, AAPL. It doesn't make you look cool and savvy. People who write HIPPA violation. I'm not even American and I know it's HIPAA.

People who are all "I" and "me" when it comes to something they took responsibility for but all "we" and "us" when they completely dropped the ball.

The type of people (not all of them are techbros) who think that ChatGPT is a magic solution to everything. Need help studying? ChatGPT! Want to get advice about something? ChatGPT! poo poo like that is a nice toy to play around with for a little while, but the trust some people have for these tech toys, I think, is extremely weird and unhealthy.

The flip side is people who blame ChatGPT for all potential problems. I'm also so glad that all I had to deal with in school was lovely plagiarism software without tye added layer of AI detection that doesn't even work.

Welp, I had a nice time off but the horrible high-pitched tone is back. Guess it's time to send politely irritated emails until someone does their job and fixes it, again. My daughter's piano teacher came in looking utterly haunted by it. Nice to have someone else who isn't like "oh yeah I guess there is a high-frequency sound constantly blasting, never noticed"

The hot weather is bringing out more and more spiders in my apartment and now they are starting to get in inconvenient places. There's one on my bathroom floor that I'm hoping will just gently caress off on it's own back under the bath overnight so that I can have a shower in the morning without causing it to panic, or getting on my towel. Generally if they are out of the way enough to not interfere with my routines I'm fine with them, but this one's a particularly large one with a thick body (UK large, so still rather small but relative to other spiders in the room. Also it's the only one not hanging out on a cobweb so it's the most likely to freak out if disturbed)

I guess  has dictated that the news should now refer to Twitter as "X" or "X, formerly known as Twitter". gently caress that. Elon has no respect for trans individuals, so people should feel free to misname his stupid hellsite. It'll always be Twitter for me because gently caress Elmo.

Grocery store where i work just got self checkouts this week and multiple customers have yelled at me about it. I'm not a manager I'm just a cashier and they're yelling at me. "How DARE you? People will lose their jobs!" yelled one lady, at the loving cashier, aka the very person who would be in position to lose their job. "I don't want that self check poo poo, i want a loving cashier!" yelled one man, at the loving cashier who was already loving cashiering his poo poo so he literally had nothing to complain about. Don't fuckin complain to the loving cashier about any store policy or corporate decision, ever, because the cashier is loving helpless and trying to make out like it is the cashier's problem makes you a dipshit fucko. If you don't like a corporate decision then write a loving email and leave the loving cashiers the gently caress alone.

My "favorite" anti-self-checkout argument is "I'm not getting paid to do YOUR job for you!" Yeah buddy, are you doing to stand there at the checkout and scan everyone else's groceries for 10 hours too? No? Well then I guess you're not doing the cashier's job, are you. Get the gently caress out.

It's easier to get bigger poo poo at the self service. Also, handing off small expensive things to the toddler on the cart allows plausible deniability.

FYI loss prevention definitely knows. They do know. The odds you're getting over on them is very slim. They are keeping a tally and waiting to act until you've breached a threshold - usually about $1,000 in total goods stolen. So make sure you're hitting up multiple locations and chains!

I pretty much always use the self-checkout if it's available. It's no more work for me. Instead of putting my groceries onto the conveyor belt I swipe them over the scanner and put them in my bag. And we don't have baggers here, so we always bag our own stuff anyway.

I pretty strongly prefer self-checkout, especially when I'm getting one or two things. Having to wait on line behind multiple people with full shopping carts to buy like two 4-packs of cat food sucks rear end.

Instead of putting my groceries onto the conveyor belt I swipe them over the scanner and put them in my bag. And we don't have baggers here, so we always bag our own stuff anyway. Yeah, same. I used to work as a cashier, with a specialization in self-checkout, so I am VERY quick. I lay out all my bags ahead of time, scan all my poo poo, bing bang boom, out in 5 minutes. I'm quicker than the cashiers. Except when the machine takes exception to something I have done or something doesn't scan, then I get to feel foolish while the checkout assistant comes over. But seriously I've watched people when the machines are busy and I actually have to wait to use the self-checkout and it's unbelievable how long people take. I was just there yesterday to buy bananas and baking soda, and there was this dude with one package of meat. That's all he had. He just stood there with the machine beeping at him. No idea what he did, but I got in on the next available machine, scanned my poo poo, and walked out while he was still standing there gormless. I dunno what people do, but the self-checkout machines rarely give me any issues.

Well yeah, sure, from the business's standpoint. From the customer's perspective, spending 3 minutes waving your own stuff over a scanner and putting it in a bag does not constitute "doing a cashier's job" in such a way that you should get paid for it. Which is the part I was responding to.

I love self check outs. I love talking to people but sometimes I just want a drink or a single item and just wanna snag it and be on my way. No small talk. No interaction. Bliss.

Someone once asked me for help finding something in a hardware store, I pointed out the shelf down at the end of aisle that had it, then they loudly berated me for working on a Sunday. At the store they were shopping at on a Sunday. Also, I didn't work there.

I don't think I've ever been mistaken for an employee but I have been asked, as a pretty tall person, to get things off high shelves for strangers. I'm usually happy to do it though I've had to gently tell people that my bus was coming before.

This lady came up to me and started asking me where stuff was and poo poo. I said "I dunno, they can probably tell you at the front?" She asked me a couple more times, I gave the same response, and finally she busted out with "WELL, do you work here?" To which I responded, "No?" and walked away. I realized afterward I was still wearing my namebadge from work, but still. Just cuz I have a namebadge on doesn't mean I work THERE!

I and everyone I work with got an e-mail from my boss “hey. I’m ordering a thing. If you do have this thing please let me know.” I’m assuming he did this so he would get a couple e-mails max because most of us don’t have the thing. Steady stream of e-mails of “Please order one for me, I need one.” That is not what he asked! Please get some reading comprehension!
