Yeah it was reasonable with a larger shop, though it was an absolute pain having to wait for someone to check and scan 4 items (happened numerous times to me, including during peak hours where there was no staff member instantly available so we had to stand around waiting). My biggest problem was just that it wasn't compatible with gift cards. As soon as I switched to those, I Scan&Go became about spending more to save a small amount of time and that wasn't worth it to me. It was the equivalent of paying an $8 - $12 fee to use Scan&Go on a big shop.

Android version upgrades haven't felt meaningful to me for a long time. I'm surprised people still get so excited about them (and angry when their manufacturer is slow to push the upgrade out).

So are just going to ignore the bit where your own argument/opinion is based on even less evidence and scrutiny?

EDIT: Also, what does any of this have to do with Proton's privacy policy? If your argument has any relevance, it's in relation to a moral objection to the CEO's political statements. Proton AG is a Swiss company, none of this actually matters in reality.

Also, semi-related, the Everyday Rewards membership no longer grants a monthly 10% discount at BIG W.

Same in Adelaide, almost all self checkouts now.

Aldi has almost fully converted to self checkout, in Adelaide. Not sure what it's like in other cities but maybe worth checking again if you haven't been for a while.

No one ever used this in my area. I never saw anyone at the gate, and on the few occasions I used it myself it always said "1 shopper in store" (me). I haven't used Scan&Go for quite some time because I have been paying with discounted gift cards for several years now to save as much as I can.

However, Scan&Go did have one genuinely good use case that cannot be replicated with the trolleys and that was allowing you to grab your one or two items during peak hour (maybe a drink or snacks) and skip all the queues in store. It was super fast, but having to rely on the trolleys will slow that down and make it far more cumbersome.

Audiobookbay, but you could also try Soulseek since many people include audiobooks and audiodramas in the music libraries they share.

Man who didn't read the article he shared tells those who did read it that they "need to work on their reading comprehension". You're so stupid you're actually writing satirical headlines about yourself now. Except, unfortunately for you, it's not satire because you really just typed that out. Wow.

This isn’t about my misremembering a really good satire bit as fact because it was so close to true.

At press time, PewDiePie was once again under fire for an incident in a new PUBG stream where, after getting run over by a vehicle, he accidentally left his house, booked a flight to Kentucky, stayed in a hotel for three days, and joined a Civil War reenactment fighting as a Confederate soldier.

??????????????

Yes, I do have a problem with braindead retards who mindlessly recycle fake news that fits their narrative instead of taking a minute out of their life to actually read the shit they are sharing. You guys shit up the online discourse for everyone else, it's this exact kind of moronic behaviour that makes social media such a chore these days. If you can't be bothered to put the minimum amount of effort in, please just stay off the internet.

The most concerning thing is you seem to think it's some kind of minor error that you can instantly move on from, but in reality the only way you make this kind of insanely stupid mistake is if you have something fundamentally wrong with your approach to sourcing information. Instead of trying to baselessly claim I'm a white supremacist for calling you out, maybe switch off the screen and do some thinking about why the fuck you throught an obviously satirical article was a genuine event that occurred in real life.
