I like to think that in the next few years, the first McDonalds operated entirely by machines with no human wagies will be opened as a trial run, and shortly thereafter will be firebombed and destroyed

I never go to self check out, even when the one available clerk out of 11\12 closed lanes protests

"Don't you know you can go to self checkout?"

me: "If everyone did you wouldn't have a job, besides, its impersonal."

I purposefully cycle between the two. And ill wait half an hour to get two or three items scanned.

Eventually there wont be an option, and in some stores there isnt now

Honestly idk why he's trying to give a human face to AI, sounds like they were trying to remake chatgpt for themselves and slap a face on it. Trying to make them politically correct is awful and just further divide people. Seems like it's been shutdown already though



Funny thing is Walmart has increased cashier's and is considering removing self check out because of theft
Long as people steal shit real employees will be needed

No, no they don’t lol

oh ok, you got me.

ironic you picked walmart as your example, as this is where this has happened to me the most lol

its usually a sweet old lady that thinks I am ignorant of the self checkout, as I usually only have 1 or 2 items in hand, and stand in a line full of people with full carts.

They are just trying to be helpful, but I genuinely dont prefer self checkout, and will avoid it if possible at all times.

I had a clerk tell me at mcdonalds one time that this location was kiosk only, I told them I couldnt spend my money there.
The foods garbage anyways.

Yes I’m aware

It is called projection. You are missing context on the interactions and filled it in with your imagination, that the clerks were outstandingly rude to me. Or that I am untruthful.

So, you are rude and dishonest. Nice meeting you.

i 100% prefer the self-check out
