I started using grocery self-checkouts during COVID, but I’ve kept using them because there’s rarely a line (and I’m a misanthrope). I’d probably go back to using regular human checkouts if I had to dig through all my crap to prove what I bought.

Having said that, I’ve noticed myself making mistakes. I’ve accidentally failed to scan an item, and I’ve accidentally entered incorrect codes for produce. When I notice, I fix them, but I’ve probably missed a few.

I guess the easiest answer is for grocery chains to reinvest some of those windfall profits and hire more cashiers.

My bad. I never knew a 16 year old working at a fast food outlet was supposed to support a family. I formally apologize as a white colonial male with priviledge

This is the same logic my old man has. I like to ask him if his breakfast is being made by a 16 year old on a school day.

You say that as if the majority of minimum-wage earners aren’t, and haven’t always been, adults. Go read a book.

They don’t read. It hurts their brain to try

Did you know McDonald’s workers in Denmark make over 20 an hour AND the food is cheaper than in the states?
