ah yes lets make things harder on service workers just because they exist. Make some random stocker that's already been repeatedly threatened to be fired for not meeting targets stop what they're doing and come ring you up and scan all your shit. If they're lucky the boss will let them stay over and work off the clock to get their stuff done. As someone who has 2 degrees and is underemployed because our society is corrupt and broken: fuck this type of behavior. Fuck people who bully service workers. I suppose next there will be a meme about bullying fast food workers for being worthless members of society. ha. ha. where funny.

Nobody at the self checkout is holding me up because they are having a chat with the cashier. No one in the self checkout is holding me up because they want to talk about every item I purchased like it's some rare lost artifact. No one in self checkout is causing me to be "in the slow line" because one line feeds to multiple kiosks. No self checkout ever struck up an unwanted conversation with me, or caused me to roll my eyes in irritation with their inability to figure out how to pay wirh some obscure format, or wait for 10 mins for some stupid price check or price compare with a website or another store or whatever.

I get my shit, and I leave unbothered. I'm not working for the company any more than I am by picking my own food off the shelf. I am, however, unburdening myself of other people. I actively avoid places with no self checkout.

I tend to buy so much booze that self check out is a hassle.

"I don't work here, and I refuse to be a class traitor." Fuck corporate greed that kills jobs for more profit.

Nope, I gotta price match. I will wait for the cashier.

Any mistake during self-checkout and my local supermarkets will consider it shoplifting and pursue it all the way to court if needed. I'm not running that risk.

I use the self-checkout so I don't have to talk to anyone.
