People have gotten fucking insane with this "Everybody should do exactly what I think they should do at all times full stop and if they don't they're literal fucking garbage, and if you disagree or care about a different thing than me you're just a whiny baby whining about baby stuff" mentality.
I'm a lefty, and it's an election year which means I get to deal with this for 10 months straight from the dems.
I don't mind self checkout.
I mind that I need the one employee overseeing 12 checkouts every other scan because the system decides something is wonky. I mind that it now has AI that assures said single employee that I'm fleecing them for an $0.80 can of tomato sauce and I now have to wait for this person to dig through my 3 bags looking for this hoisted sauce.
If they're so determined that every customer is lifting everything at checkout all the time - if only there was a way they could have an employee verify every item gets scanned, every time, perhaps by doing it themselves. Then we could wait in a line and feed our items to them so they can rest easy knowing everything was scanned appropriately. Oh, what science fiction Dreams I have.

Every time. Take credit on the way in, cast blame on the way out.
Why wouldn't they? Their voters know it's bullshit but don't WANT a stable country.
I'm a tall bearded almost ginger mountain fucker that lives in the Bible belt. It regularly takes under 5 minutes for the quiet part to become out loud, always because I agree with the most innocuous shit.
