This says much about respect and social competence in this society when the first instinct is to mock and abuse someone with different priorities than yours.
Never understood that argument. I want to be in and out as quickly as possible. Self checkout makes that happen.

I'd rather check myself out than deal with other idiots. It's a win for my sanity.
I mean, both are right. Clients shouldn't have to do the cashier job.
But clients should stop going there to send a message instead of harassing the minimum salary employee.
How is saying I" don't work here" in response to the employee approaching them to direct them to the self-checkout - how is that harassing them?

I don’t understand the hate for self checkout it’s faster and easier
It depends on the store. There are places where the self checkout lanes are dysfunctional and end up requiring waiting for a checkout worker (who are usually understaffed) to come and scan a code to fix it.

Management can fuck right the hell off. Self checkout is taking jobs away from people and getting us to work for free.
I once asked a cashier in Germany if she thought self-checkouts would take away her job. She said she liked them because there's enough to do anyway and they take away the boring task of cashier-ing.

Screw Walmart. During the storms here in NC, I went there to buy some relief supplies, and it was awesome to see the whole store getting picked apart by people buying supplies to donate. What was definitely not awesome was the only 3 checkout lanes open out of the total 12, because Walmart has a 3 per employee rule and they don't want to assign enough workers for the checkout lanes, even during times of crisis like this.

I enjoy turning this one around. "Oh, you're one of those socialists who wants everybody else to do your work for you, too lazy to lift your own groceries. Nobody wants to work anymore!"
i'm sure you use that zinger all the time
I didn't know there were places that even asked that.
When I bring my banana through the cashier lane they give me a dirty look. But when I ride one of the lawnmowers inside and try to mount a self check out, I get kicked out of the store. MAKE UP YOUR MIND!
I get being mean to walmart because corporations are bad but being needlessly rude to random employees rubs me the wrong way. Most of us can't get a job anywhere better despite having a degree. We have to deal with the mental abuse of people constantly treating us like dog shit just because we exist. The job situation is so fucked right now. I should not be having to compete with people that have masters degrees and decades of experience for tech support jobs that pay $15 an hour. Fuck this broken society.
The last time I was not underemployed was 2018.
