I like self check out. I got stuck in the local supermarket slowest cashier on the west coast (a lard that only 'worked' in slow motion in the morning, also had to have a stool to sit unlike all the rest). I can scan faster myself. If it's too early in the morning, the local store doesn't have open their self check outs yet and slow motion lard is the only option.

Self check all the way. Wendy the retard takes too long by talking to everyone in line. Plus she has no incentive to move fast seeing she's just killing time till she does her 8.

If the line is long at the human checkout, I go to the self checkout and act completely incompetent. The scan watcher then has to scan all my items and then check me out. It is petty, but very satisfying.

Human, but mostly because the store that's most convenient for me to shop at has too much diversity accommodation built into the system.

Higher price item like nice piece of meat or something? Wait - needs attendant approval that weight and quantity match what's in your cart. Trying to reallign your stuff in the bagging area so it's organized? Wait for attendant - machine will lock the system thinking you're adding things without scanning. Etc and so forth.

I get it, our "strength" have enriched us so much the system is programed to assume anything that could be a theft situation has to be approved by a human. But then just put people there to begin with rather than having me wait for one several times during every checkout session.

Humans are funny. Remember we only got to the moon (a 3 day trip on rocket) in 1969, yet we never went back just to build a base and test life on the ground in space.

Smartphones didn't exist until about 15 years ago and now people are talking about Mars (an 8 month trip one way on a rocket) and acting like it's the year 3000.

Robots, replacing humans with very basic jobs that a hacker or thief can easily manipulate is not the answer. They have to pay humans to stand and watch the robot transactions. It's stupid and a waste of time.

Sorry folks. Even if you were born today, you will never see humans on Mars. Maybe the moon if they decide to put a base there. WW3 will wipe most of the world out anyways long before the year 3000.

Don't panic, everyone living on Earth as of this second, will die on Earth (unless they're on a flight to Mars, a Moon base or the ISS). Let's focus on fixing poverty, creating integrity and union by sealing all borders (they exist for a reason), ending despicable multiculturalism, deporting all llegals, banning globalists, avoiding endless pointless wars, the deficit; stop playing World Police and giving money away for free to our enemies.

When the inevitable WW3 comes, some may survive it. If they do, WW4 will be fought with sticks and stones.

Cuz niggers

When it comes to grocery shopping, there seem to be two kinds of people in this world: those who prefer self-checkout, and those who prefer interaction with a human.

And those who prefer a store trip to not involve waiting ten minutes in line, so that they have ten more minutes to spend with friends and family (interaction with humans they know).

I stopped caring a about having human cashiers when they were double masked, behind a plastic partition, and lecturing me on why I should wear a mask. At least I think so, I have a hard enough time understanding what people say, and that's before they put on a mask.

I prefer the self checkout if it takes cash. Most of them don’t, so I end up using the regular checkout.

For some reason, shops no longer care that checkout staff be quick. They are all slow as hell.

I look forward to RFID where there is no checkout
