Self-check out chat:

I remember when I moved to Derry, NH and the local Shaw's had just installed a self check out (1997? Maybe?). It was the ideal setup for someone who didn't want to be wedged between [person counting out change and dropping it everywhere] and [coughing local wino who would occasionally expectorate on the conveyor belt].

With an immunocompromised spouse, we've been using instacart, especially as where we live (not NH) is seeing a major covid spike, and most of the chuds in our area of GA simply don't give a gently caress.

Lot of countries have had self checkouts for years, they're super useful

Do you guys have cameras watching your carts that detect if you might have not scanned everything - that also don't work cause it can't differentiate between Object and Object You Bought At Another Store? Cause those suck.
They've also recently started introducing gates that won't open if an AI thinks you've stolen something.

So look forward to those 2 bits of lovely tech loving up an otherwise good experience.

ABSOLUTE FUCKING GUDGEON

Not judging for shoplifting, but absolutely judging for how dumb this shoplifting was.

First off, you don't steal from Target bc they are one of those stores that makes their security act as PIs, and those fuckers yes put together a dossier of every item you take until it hits felony levels, and then show up at your house and arrest you. Which is incredibly easy to find out with a quick google. It's 2024 and many retail companies are losing their minds over shrinkage, you gotta do research and find places where the employees talk on Reddit about how their company doesn't do poo poo.

In addition to this, she purchased stuff from the store and visits it regularly - giving them her name and verifying her identity.

Doing skip-scanning at the local Target you visit regularly for household goods is just asking to be arrested, and she looks like she did it habitually and compulsively based on those dates.

I do not care that she shoplifted, I do care that she did it in the dumbest manner possible. And this woman was supposed to be in charge of education?

However, it is important to note that Congressman Gosar has explicitly refuted the existence of any significant health issues and has provided an explanation for his condition. He attributes these manifestations to ailments such as arthritis, compressed vertebrae, and complications arising from a previous hip replacement surgery2.

Self-checkout is my weekly abuse session. I think it's because of my height or something but the machines constantly accuse me of stealing and I have to repeatedly call over the cashier to fix it. It happens every god drat time and I think it's degrading to listen to a machine repeatedly insisting that I'm stealing boxes of hamburger helper and frozen pizzas.

It's been a couple decades since intelligence agencies have even given lip service to respecting domestic borders. There's extensive journalism about the NSA's domestic wiretapping, everyone just looks the other way when they come after muslims and leftists. But for some reason the rules around domestic surveillance come up when the usual white supremacists pop up.

If the same capabilities developed to go after al qaeda et al were pointed at the J6 crowd, the entire lot of them would have been rounded up within the week instead of relying on classmates and coworkers to identify them in social media videos.
