For me it's holding a VHS in the store and looking at the cover.

No automated self serve checkouts.

Perhaps. Stores used to have an employee take your shopping list, and go fetch all of the products off of the shelves for you. As I understand it, Piggly-Wiggly pioneered a new method, making the customers go fetch everything in their grocery stores, in order to save money on wages.

We got used to doing the store employees' job on that one, so we'll probably get used to the self-checkout, too.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Oh, we'll get used to it allright

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
