I suppose you might also leave trash at your seat in a movie theater or restaurant. After all, cleaning up is someone else's job and you don't even work there. Plus, you can pat yourself on the back for contributing to that person's job security with your added burden like some of the people here.
That's not the same, in OP's case you're doing the business’s job for free so some rich fuck can get richer by fucking over both the workers and the customers, while in the other case not littering is basic social responsibility, not labor substitution.

And I always prefer machines over humans
Well then I have some very good news to you about your future.

Yo, recommend me a beer! I don't like hazy stuff but everything else is on the menu.
Look, I don't know where you live, your standards, or your money situation, so it's a tricky ask. For me I drink the cheapest shit because I drink a lot of it, but I recently went to Laos, and they had a beer, like basically the only beer they have, called Beerlao, which is partly made with rice, and it's fucking FANTASTIC.
If you can find that shit on the shelves, try it out. Though tariffs just hit Laos exports with 50% so, my advice stands- buy the cheapest shit possible and drink a lot of it because what is about to unfold in the world will require you to be drunk or dead to endure it.

That's not the same, in OP's case it's about the store outsourcing the work onto the customer while cutting labor costs so some rich fuck can get slightly richer, while not littering is a matter of basic social responsibility, not a labor situation.

Yes but you often have to wait to get to the cashier
A non issue. You'll often have to wait anyway.
-
With a cashier, I can start packing while they scan, which is way faster
At self checkout, I pack while I scan, and then I have control over the order of scanning and packing.
It does suck that places are opting to have self checkout in exclusion to checkout lanes, but for the people that don't like self checkout just don't use it when you have the choice.

What does that have to do with taking away jobs? A lot of jobs are meaningless doesn't mean you help corporations save a buck.
Support UBI, then meaningless jobs don't matter.

Aww.
Well, I know this doesn't help, but you know you're never going to get over this without messing up a few times, yeah?
When I learned to sing, I was so overcome with embarrassment that I could barely do it in a big building I knew was empty (I was the closing manager for a while). I only got over that feeling by singing anyway. I would get loud, my voice would crack, I would stop and apologize to the ghosts nearby, and then I'd steel myself and try again. This built a lot of confidence, though. I learned not to fear the embarrassment and eventually stopped feeling it altogether.
If this matters at all: to the right kinds of people, being a little embarrassed is endearing anyway. I would help somebody learn the self-checkout if they didn't know.
Thanks for your kind message. Fear of embarrassment is really something that holds us back

I am surprised about how many people prefer self checkout. Since AI is taboo to use but replacing a worker with self checkout is okay. Kind of a weird dynamic on the platform.

Self checkout
AIwrote last edited by [email protected]Seems pretty clear to me... There's no LLM involved in self-checkout (not yet at least... ugh).
Short to no line
Not having to interact with another human

I AM the human cashier when I do self-checkout. People don't care WHO or what does it, they themselves just don't want to.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Do what, drag a barcode over a flat surface and put an item in a bag? Oh no.
I'll do that all day if it means I don't need to interact with anyone.

Uhh yeah there's a camera there now, and literally my local grocery store of choice, Food Lion, fucking shows you your ass on its display screen. Which is basically saying "Fucking do it mother fucker, we dare you, we double dog dare you."
You could probably do it if you never plan on entering that store ever again.

Cashiers are fast. I don't want to search for the catalog number for all my produce. The cashiers have it memorized
Cashiers are fast.
Not always

Most produce has a sticker with the code on it and most stores have now made it to where you can just scan the little sticker barcode anyways.
Yeah... Or if not, just ring it up as the cheaper version of the same (or similar) vegetable. Pro-tip.

Self checkout
AIself-chackout is often faster. Also, earier to shoplift.

The Walmart ones apparently have some manner of AI/neural net/deep learning image processing going on to attempt to catch people stealing stuff at the checkouts.
Somehow they still don't support contactless payments for some reason, though, so that's neat.
-
We had those handheld scanner at the store I usually go, but they removed them as the theft rate was supposedly higher.
Can't have nice things..
Here you need to use your receipt to get out, and there's (pretty infrequent) checks. Like once every 10th time they'll randomly scan five items

They also did that, still higher rate of theft according to them

Tell me the OP is from the US without telling me they're from the US.
