Satsuma Mandarin is the new Tangerine, at least in as much as I will pay them. The cost savings to the establishment are orders of magnitude greater than anything lost to shrink, they simply do not care as long as the P&L's add up. Hence the reason they close down stores in the places where the ratio is, shall we say, unflattering.

>lots of items, go to cashier
>few items, go to self checkout
simple ass

>>18819443
Yeah how will that work out for you when there are no more regular cashiers left because self-checkout is cheaper?

just steal nigga
idk about other stores but at whole foods its a piece of cake
the wagie standing there doesnt give a fuck if you just pretend to scan something and throw it in your bag
the machine doesnt snitch on you either if the weight in the bagging area goes up either

>>18819499
I guess I'll just starve to death.

>>18819499
>muh slipper slope fallacy
Maybe go to another store that has no self-checkout.

>>18819407
Yeah a coop i worked at caught onto this and ripped out all the self check stations for good lmao. When customers bitched we told them its so "we can get more face time with customers!! :3"

>>18819513
Has slippy slope argument ever been wrong?

>>18819396
I refuse to use them, until they totally remove the cashiers.

>>18819523
Yes.

>>18819513
What store? They won't exist

>>18819396
>I am paying to work for the grocery store now! I love it!!
I never use self-checkout. I heard the stores make fake accusations of theft ALL of the time and there's little you can do to dispute it. I'll keep the cashiers in the loop.

>>18819523
Yes. That is why it is a fallacy.
>>18819538
It does your heart no good to make up future scenarios where your misery only deepens. You should work on that negative self-talk, jimbo.

>>18819541
They have receipts. What the fuck do you mean there's nothing you can do to dispute it? If it was rung up, you paid for it. The real problem is when they try acting like you're obligated to humor them. The instant you've paid it's now your property and thinking they can stop you from leaving with your property unless you let them inspect it is a lawsuit in waiting.

>>18819541
>I heard the stores make fake accusations of theft ALL of the time
Where, here? Don't be stupid enough to believe everything you read online. Definitely isn't even remotely a common thing

>>18819541
You need to go outside more

Do your own research!

My sibling went shopping like 8PM with nephews at our vacation house location at a Wal-Mart and they forced her to self-checkout with a literal $600 cart of groceries. I wouldn't have done it. I would have said "open a register for us, or can put away all of these items one by one on your own"

>>18819560
all stores here now have self check-out
at the start 50% of self check-out terminals accepted cash
with covid that got reduced to 15%
today there's not a single self check-out that accepts cash in the entire region.

I suggest you read up on fallacies, dear wannabe philosophy bro.

>>18819643
This sounds illegal, you can't refuse legal tender

>>18819523
honestly no. ignore the other posters. it's all slopes and relativism. find me an example of it not happening.

>>18819651
You can if you put a sign up to inform the customer.

>>18819396
Fine with me, I use self checkout whenever it’s possible so the cashier people don’t know I’m a manchild

>>18819396
OP, why not shop online and press all the curbside or delivery buttons that makes the food just appear at your door or makes a wagie wheel it out to your car?
And don't tell me the only services you can find cost more money. It's obvious common sense that when there's a choice between someone else being hired to do menial work for you or not there's a tradeoff happening that costs money.

>>18819396
I’m miffed that the store in the town I just moved to DOESN’T have self checkout. Makes it much harder to steal shit.

i only use self-check out. why would i want some old roastie touching all my food and looking at me

>>18819714
This. I literally only hear old people bitching about self checkout

>>18819523
no
it literally has never been wrong and they're gaslighting you

There is a distressing amount of people in this thread who clearly have an IQ below 85, seeing as how they fail to understand the slippery slopes validity comes from increasing the likelihood of further development along a certain pathway, not that it neccesiates it.

oh no youre distressed? go to /lgbt/ sweety theyll take care of you there

please don't make fun of me

>>18819396
Why don't we get a discount on our groceries since we are doing their job for them?

>>18819523
Nope it's true 100% of the time, entropy is a law of the universe. Things will always get worse and decay over time.

>>18819900
they call it the "rewards program"

>>18819396
I love self checkout. Wagies are incompetent retards and always manage to fuck-up somehow by either taking forever, double swiping something, etc.
I can get done in less than half the time

>>18819908
I don't remember Walmart ever offering me such a thing.

Yea I'm essentially collecting a small salary because of all the shit I steal thanks to these

I love self checkout, especially back when I used to get panic attacks

>>18819619
>getting mad at the opportunity to make that a $300 cart of groceries

>>18819672
you're going to die

>>18819396
>I am paying to work for the grocery store now! I love it!!

You mean they give you a discount (stealing a few items) to work at the store. It's a fair tradeoff

imagine being such a lonely cunt you want to stand in line for multiple minutes just for a ten second interaction with someone who is forced to give you attention when you could have already finished your checkout with nearly no extra effort

>Self-checkout on the far end of the store almost never has any lines when it's open
>Don't have to wait behind multiple people with 50+ items a pop
>Don't have to risk getting stuck waiting for a slow-ass cashier to ring stuff up
>Can bag my own groceries to avoid the fact that cashiers are specifically trained to do it wrong

Not a bad deal, honestly.

>>18819396
I shop at Whole Foods and they don't have those scam kiosks.

Anything that doesn't have a barcode is a banana

I like it. The less i have to talk to another person the better. I already park in the back of the lot to avoid other cars, I have no problem doing a little more to avoid interacting with other people.

>>18820060
Single mother?

>>18820023
Not him but ever since my store started charging for bags, what once took three bags is now 5 and double-bagged

>>18819396
I used to grab the cheapest pound of ground beef and then double bag it with lamb chops or veal or some shit, then scan it as just the ground beef. I was doing it very regularly by the last few weeks I lived in that area, just constantly doubling up meats - it was at a Publix with pretty good management so I don't know why I never got confronted.

>>18820122
Fake and gay.

>>18819984
Did you bring your bag?

>>18820126
cry more

>>18819396
You'd rather stand in line waiting?
Also the cashiers are almost always fat ugly bottom of the barrel women and they truely look misserable behind their eyes.
I am glad I don't have to interact with these sub humans

>>18820147
I go to the fat ugly ones on purpose so I don't have Karen on the other side thinking of what her socia media post about me sexually harassing her by existing is going to be that night.

>>18820150

>>18819560
an argument be fallacious doesn't make it wrong. it only means that the argument is not airtight. the slippery slope *is* real... just look at how modern society has decayed lmao.

This is a cooking board. What the fuck are you doing here if that's what you eat?

Anything that causes people to lose jobs is based in my opinion.

>>18819396
i will pay money to skip the cashier's small talk. fuck interacting with humanoids

>>18820186
Haha good one! Have you ever looked at these threads? I think this board is mostly goyslop consumers

>>18819396

i hate every single person that complains about self checkout.

first of all, it's nobody elses job to bag YOUR groceries. NOBODY should be a cashier. it's not a job. it's a waste of time. it's welfare that just wastes someones time standing there for 8 hours for no reason. i'd rather have all cashiers just get checks from the government and not be cashiers instead. at least they might clean their apartment or something and be productive in some small way instead of bagging YOUR fucking groceries.

because what are YOU doing? you are standing there with your fucking DICK IN YOUR HAND watching SOMEONE ELSE do YOUR work. the mentality of someone that's such a useless, lazy, careless sack of nigger shit that you stand there with your mouth open while someone puts groceries in a bag for you makes me hot. it makes me mad. i get fucking itchy seeing someone do something like that for me while i'm not helping. you worthless fucking non contributor to society. it's a one person job. just fucking do it, you NIGGER.

every motherfucking boomer retard and wannabe boomer sexless faggot that complains about self checkout should be thrown into the fucking coal mines with a pick axe. not a single god damned person on earth should be a cashier. there is zero reason for a cashier to exist.

also, fuck you to the people that snarky reddit say, 'oh i love it because i can steal'. you're not improving your life. you're not robbing an armored truck to start selling condos. you're just degrading yourself to the level of a fucking feral nigger. you're just making yourself less. you're trailer trash. just like the boomer faggot retards and their admirers that complain about having to put their goyslop in a bag to get it to their car, when they have literally nothing else to do while that's happening, while also wasting someone elses time by them being a cashier.

if this thread was an elementary school i'd turn it into a tiny graveyard, with an AR-15.

>>18820254
Okay

>>18819499
It's actually horrible when you have a half-cartful of groceries. First, the machines make you go really slowly because the cameras need to photograph your fingerprints while you're scanning. They freak out and start beeping if you go too fast. Second, there's simply not enough room. The bagging stands max out at four bags. When you start taking full bags off the machine freaks out. When you add your own new bags to the scale, or pull out a new paper bag (to avoid the draconian new bag taxes) the machine freaks out. I like to make the machine freak out multiple times, then pretend I'm an idiot so the self-check out overseer wagie must come over and scan all of my groceries anyway. I'm not doing this shit. Open human lanes, assholes. If the store is open, there should be a human checkout lane.

>>18819523
Honestly doesn't seem like it. Food, gun rights, video games, movies, health care, internet freedom, automotives, media, and more have all generally degraded.

>>18820269

gun rights have advanced a great deal in the last 30 years.

>>18820047
how

>>18820254
You completely missed the point of these bottom of the barrel "jobs". They exist solely so the client can feel good about himself, because hes not the sad sack of meat doing the menial task.

>>18820284
They don't charge you at the deli counter. They print out a bar code that you take to the cashier or self-check.

>>18820286
capitalism is a failure, then, simply because it tries to make people feel better about themselves, wrongfully.

i want to see americans subjected to communism specifically because they will be crushed underfoot and ground into dust until their souls are broken.

>slippery slope fallacy
the grocers used to carry your purchase out to the car for you, now we've got to scan the bleeding things ourselves. soon they'll have us stocking the food too and you can bet your ass the chattel will do it.

>>18820300
Stocking is a pretty ridiculous thing, anyway. Shops should just leave things on pallets like Costco does.

>>18820300
you SHOULD have to stock the fucking food, dog. you should have to unpalletize it off the fucking truck. in fact, you should be distributed rice in small bags and nothing else by warlord police stations under a brutal communist regime. that is what i want for america. brutal communist repression and starvation. that's what i want for you. you should be displaced like kulaks and made to eat molded rotten food for weeks just to survive. i want to see you weep in joy over an orange peel.

>>18820303
it's food indexing which allows you, the loyal customer, to quickly obtain your desired products.
carting through costco with the white trash is quite simply too common for some of us

>>18820310
I don't know what a kulak is but I'm sure you'd fit in around San Francisco.

>>18820303
i agree. don't like it? find the fucking farm or factory yourself.

>>18820314
no, those faggots think communism will make people happy and equal and stuff. i know that it's the opposite. millions will die. everyone will have their souls crushed. that's the part i want. not the gay parts. just the part where you're starving and lose parts of your soul and you're abused and live in fear.

>>18820316
oh in america like the laws have been continually improving, completely, across the board, everywhere except cali and NY basically for guns.

yeah canada is fucked but what did you expect its canada.

>>18820254
We invented things like Uber and Doordash because we all knew we figured out automation back in antiquity. You can't have slaves anymore so these are the next best thing.

>>18820330
hopefully, black people become so undisciplined and feral that uber and doordash become impossible. not sure what the specific mechanism would be but i have complete faith in niggers ability to find a way to ruin things.

i'm hoping that fast food restaurants somehow stop being a thing too. i just want the joy and comfort to be ripped out of every americans hands.

>>18820321
no I didn't mean the communism stuff I meant the being a gay guy

>>18819619
Lmao the workers get paid the same whether you buy it or not. I actually liked doing go-backs

>>18820294
ohh, very nice. i thought you were somehow using the bag to repetitively get free wings

>>18819900
I had this same thought when I was pumping my own gas

My grocery store only has 2 normal checkouts the rest are all these garbage self checkouts. These faggots only hire 15 year olds to work the registers paying them 4 bucks an hour here so its not a money thing. Scan beer, "please wait while an employee checks your ID". So by having the self scan checkouts you need another cunt to check the IDs, who might as well just ring up your groceries the normal way. Scan couple items want to pay "please wait for an employee to do a random search". I hate these fucking fags so much its unreal.

>>18820122

it ain't fake I do this literally every time at Publix too

Get fucked self checkout.

>>18819396
Seeing as I am faster than a wagie and can properly sort and bag my shit, yeah I do like it better.

DESU I should try the fancy shit where you just scan the shit as you throw it into your cart and just pay and leave one of these days. Just don't want to mess with the phone app for it though.

OP, if you care that much, just order online and get a wage slave to cart/bag your shit for you. They supposedly bring it right out to your car for you now. Or skip the box store and let Amazon ship your groceries, no travel required!

>>18820334
This is actually true already in some blue cities, especially CA. Basically they raid trains and shit, and both them and rednecks just take packages right off doorsteps. That isn't counting the doordash people themsevles snacking and stealing shit.

>this thread
4chan is full of poor people and browns

>>18820752

Always has been.

It's faster and I get free stuff.

>>18819523
Other posters are retards just unable to accept recent world changes that they don't like. But it's generally wrong in the long run, if it were true pretty much every conflict in human history would be on a specific trajectory over time and human ethic would be a distinctly linear thing. But in reality it's constantly spiraling back and fourth between various camps and trains of thought. The only thing that is truly linear would be technology and science advancing, but even that shit can be utterly fucked back in the other direction.

>>18820334

Because its way fucking faster. Surely you arent so anti social that you cant make 2 minutes of small talk

>>18821273
I would rather spend 10 minutes bagging my own shit than make small talk with a wagie for 30 seconds

>>18821273
I don't say a single word to the wagie other than thanks at the end. Do I look like a fucking jester? I'm supposed to have some 2 minute bit ready to entertain you during your work day? I'm already paying for your overpriced shit because I literally need food to survive, and now I need to go through a humiliating performance just for you to scan my fucking food? No, fuck off and do your job. We can acknowledge that each other exist but that's as far as I'm going to go with the relationship

diet soda is legit to cut calories while pretending to have fun with sweet drinks (or mix it with liquor like a fucking degenerate aka me)

the "i'll have a diet coke, 'cuz i'm on a diet" meme comes from gigalards ordering a diet coke with their daily ridiculous triple cheeseburger and fries lunches

>>18819672
When I saw this I just had to go out and find the Great Value Bacon Double Cheeseburger. They were almost sold out but I found some. Will post update later.

every store stripped out half of their checkouts to add even more self checkouts during the memedemic and now rarely have more than one cashier working
i think this was done because they know how many people are dying off nowadays

>>18819891
i am in your walls

I do this with vegetables. I throw my car keys on the scale, then select all the different vegetables that i'm buying. and pay for some 50 grams per vegetable.

>>18819396
I used one for the first time just before Christmas because I can't stand the annoying cashier. I discovered that if you accidentally scan something twice you can't remove it without staff assistance. Have used it a few times since. No option to steal anything as there aren't any weighing scaled in Tesco Express.

One thing I hate is it sometimes won't scan my club card or debit card.

oops forgot to scan my pears! :) and my pack of water hehe!

We don't really think about you at all

>>18819523
I'm legitimately trying hard to think of an example but I just can't, although I'm probably too young to be any sort of authority on the matter

WF doesn't use a scale so it's easier. They do have cameras and folks watching so I'd just make sure whatever I'm accidentally moving into the bag is concealed by another item I'm purchasing. But in a way that I could always have plausible deniability; like placing a pack of gum in a fruit bag would be sus. But you can plausibly pickup a box of cookies from your basket, and accidentally at the same time be grabbing a small bag of peanuts or a packaged cookie underneath it in the same hand. And end up accidentally just scanning one but placing both in your bag at the same time. It could help if you accidentally strategically arrange the items in your basket beforehand.

>>18822177
I'd love to watch you nervously organizing your cart for double grabs an isle away then spill your spaghetti in front of the monitor when you try out those "accidents" kek

>>18819672
But you're buying groceries at Walmart. Everybody already knows you're a manchild.

>>18820254
Saving this for a new copypasta

>>18819396
If it means I don't have to wait 20 minutes in line to get to an unemployable retard with a fluoride stare take twice the time to do something I could do myself, I'll happily use self checkout at a grocery store.
I've leveled up to the point of submitting non-grocery store orders for in store pickup. You WILL pick, bag, and have my merchandise waiting for me when I arrive, wagie.

i like buying beer and shit at the self checkout, so i can stare at a cashier eye to eye while they're ringing up another customer and they stop what they're doing to walk over and check my ID.

>>18819672

>>18819396
>waiting in line

WHY DO THEY DO THIS. I like the self checkout when I'm just grabbing one or two items but it would be so much easier to throw you cart full of grocerys onto the treadmill and let the cashier bag it all quickly.

I just walked out with everything and no one stopped me

>>18819651
You can. You only have to accept tender for debts and such, not transactions. It's perfectly legal for them to not accept cash, unfortunately.

>>18820254
Found the grocery store manager who ends up on a cash register when people call in sick LOL

>>18819976

what are you going to do while the wagie is swiping food?
might as well bag it yourself

>find the fucking farm or factory yourself.
But I do.

I don't use self checkout. Even if I'm just getting a few items it's more convenient if someone can scan my stuff while I pay. It's more efficient to do it in parallel and takes less time. By the time I find my card, they've already scanned everything.

>>18819672
Looks like my cart. Except regular cola.

>>18822273
>>18820254

>>18819672
I'm a fat fuck that just gets by doing only one meal a day and going on a maelstrom of eating every 5 days and even when I do that my cart has actual fruits and ingredients to do stuff(outside the cakes ofc) the fuck are you doing buying frozen pizza and burguers and shamelessly posting that on a cooking board?!

Not just a retard, a dumb fucking nigger. How stupid can you unironically be.

>>18819407
You can shortchange on item count too provided you keep them out of eyeshot of the camera and don't set down your items on the scale.

On top of that pointing at labor eliminating automation that's been the trend since the industrial revolution and saying "there well be more of that" isn't even the slippery slope.

>>18819523
It’s a fallacy if you have no evidence and are just assuming but look at what happened when we gave fags rights they keep going farther and farther expecting us to just sit there and tolerate it

"continually improving"
there was a time where you didn't need a permit, didn't need to register, didn't need to tell the government what firearms you own and in what quantity, you just bought one, carried it, and nobody asked because they assumed you weren't a criminal. "advanced" my ass.

>>18823562
>there was a time where you didn't need a permit, didn't need to register, didn't need to tell the government what firearms you own and in what quantity
you don't need to do any of that to buy/own a gun in the US
stop getting your news from twitter and /pol/, its rotting your mind
I can think of several very valid examples of gun rights declining in the past decade off the top of my head, but you failed to mention a single one of them which tells me that you neither own a firearm nor ever attempted to actually purchase one in your life. either that or you live in a commie transplant state like CA/NY, in which case, my condolences.

>>18819499
its not though.
they need 1 staff member per 4 machines to help all the retards/boomers who break them constantly and to do ID checks for alcohol, then there's the IT guy/repairman who have to come in a few times a week to fix the machines, he charges $90/hour.

>>18823665
yeah its pretty easy. all you have to do is pass an FBI background check and that's the dealer making a phone call. in my state pistols have a waiting period unless you have a CPL - which, again, all you have to do is pass an FBI background check

>>18825617
Yeah, I'm sure businesses don't adjust prices to compensate for loss. This is the intelligent view that only cucks would disagree with.

>>18819407
I realised yesterday that the machines misweigh things and require staff logins so much that if I fill up the scale with groceries I could just start scanning stuff and putting it in my bag and then act like it's doing it's usual thing when it starts kvetching about the item not being in the bagging area.

>>18819560

I would use them exclusively if they had the same counter space as the manned checkouts, but they don't which means it's impossible to bag shit, so I don't use them

The Walmart by me no longer has a single register open and the lines for self checkout are now wrapped around our into the main aisles. A rage is growing within me

>>18823386
>>18825523
i would never steal from a local business, but are we really going to pretend that I'm affecting a Walmart in any way if i pull some self checkout shenanigans?

>>18826374
You're right, I would give anything to be able to go back into the matrix and eat the steak.
But living with your eyes open does have it's benefits as well.

>>18827303
Not as an individual, but the aggregate effect of collective action can amount to significant detriment.

>>18819396
I prefer self-checkout because Im faster and I dont like interacting with people

>>18827303
Walmart loses more product between the factory and the shelf than you could possibly steal

>>18819407
>>18825655
>>18823459
Have fun and good luck, but be very, very careful of the cameras. I have two friends stuck working grocery places, Walmart one and a local chain the other. Both monitor the self checkouts heavily but don't bother with the odd thing here or there. What they watch for is people who do it consistently and they're told to wait to catch them either being on camera stealing small things multiple times or wait till you try something bigger. The goal from head office is to get shoplifters on more serious takes so they can come down on them harder.

tl;dr, when you ring in something wrong and didn't get caught in the moment, don't assume no one noticed. Always be careful, always.

>>18819396
You're paying not to wait in line, dumbass

>>18827369
Only if you get in early. The self-checkout line ends up getting huge because eventually every scanner gets clogged up with doddering old idiots.

>>18819908
that existed decades before self-checkout

>all these people claiming they steal

It must be completely different where you live because here they have people whose entire job is to sit and stare at you. I tried to steal an apple once just to see if I could get by with it and some old lady came up after I paid and was like "HMMMM I THINK YOU FORGOT SOMETHING" and I had to be like "OH HAHA MY BAD :^) "

A hard choice there, guess if your time is worthless you can just wait in the line for the cashier.
Out of all the things to complain about in the modern world you choose to complain about self checkouts? Really? Personally they've been a blessing for me, no more waiting in lines ever and on top of that I don't have to interact with the cashier.

>>18827369

Legal euthanasia has never led to suicide booths or mandatory death. Abortion has never led to legal post-natal euthanasia. Legalising prostitution does not lead to all women becoming commodified, and actually reduces the extreme end of degeneracy in the industry. Chewing gum doesn't lead to widespread drug abuse.

>>18823435
Aww man, almost a day and some idiot (you) took the bait.

>>18819672
honestly? based

>>18819407
This. They monitor self checkout heavily though, especially the AP guys (who typically walk around plain-clothed). Just always make sure you're ringing up a similar item so if you get stopped you can just say "oh, I didn't know they were organic heirlooom black krims, I thought they were beefsteaks".

>>18829466

gotten 3 or 4 ribeye steaks only paying for one by stacking them up
even if they watch they can't tell. and the weight sensors are fucking retard tier since the person overseeing the self checkouts literally will just hit the button to override it every time without question

>>18819570
all you have to do is say it was an honest mistake and they won't press charges or anything anyway. literally just say 'well, i'm sorry i'm not a cashier and thought that it went through'

>diet coke

>>18819396
As an autistic sperg I fucking love self checkouts. I always hated having to force myself to talk to some normie when I wanted to buy something. It's awkward, I don't give a shit about them or what they have to say and if they attempt small talk it just makes whole situation much worse.

I'll gladly do their job if it means I don't have to speak to somebody.

>>18821267
I'll never get this complaint. It's basically like-for-like for your average tastelet and it replaces an insane amount of calories with practically zero. Do you want them to have the full sugar to be ideologically pure or something?

>>18830325
What are you people saying to cashiers besides "Hi" and "Thanks"?

>>18830325
I think it’s rather sad honestly. How long until nobody talks to each other at all? I like to make conversations with people at self check outs. Ask them how much they’re paying for their food and trying to get them to actually socialise instead of turning into mindless robots. My job is to try and talk people into buying things as they’re walking past in the store so I don’t feel any awkwardness at all.

>>18830357
NTA but the people around here are all pretty pushy with the smalltalk
>haven't seen you in a while!
>ooh what do you cook with that?
>got any plans for the weekend?
I don't mind most of the time but sometimes you're just not in the mood.

Self checkouts are great. I don't want to talk to or deal with wagies. I also don't want to sit in line.

>>18830363

>>18823022
i just dont want to interact with the begga-i mean baggers

>>18830364
Ok that sounds miserable actually

I'm glad I live in a big city where cashiers won't speak unless spoken to

what the fuck is wrong with all of you? i can't even picture the average 4chan user anymore. you're so completelty and totally retarded that I can't conjure the image of a human who is as fucking dumb as you lot anymore. are you actually all brain diseased aliens from planet stupid fuckin idiots?

Don't worry, those rates are affected by the shit gay people have to put up with from subhumans like yourself so the more you are forced to be a decent person things will work themselves out.

Do go ahead and keep yelling about how you hate gay people, it helps their cause in many ways.

This. I found out Walmart specifically trains receipt checkers not to be aggressive, and they have a policy against them being aggressive.

>>18819966
I only shop at places where the checkout girls are cute. I need this and you can’t stop me.

I never use it because I always look for items on sale and if one doesn't register I'd rather make the cashier take care of it instead of standing at the self checkout with my thumb up my ass for 20 minutes waiting on a manager. I also have no interest in stealing anything.

I usually only buy some produce, fish and dairy, and self checkout takes about three minutes unless the machine fucks up, which is pretty rare. Don't see why I should have to stand in line behind multiple people with carts packed to the ceiling. Express lanes don't exist in my area for some reason.

Self checkouts are so good. Not only am I paying half price for my groceries on a good day, I also don't have to deal with a wagie, and it gets done faster because I am obviously way more proficient with literally everything than the $8/hr register cuck. I literally do not understand why anyone would want to go to a regular checkout.

Maybe if you're the kind of brainlet boomer who bitches about uscans you're so physically slow that having some brain dead 35 year old burnout do it for you is faster, or you're so starved for attention that having somebody pretend to like you for 30 seconds is the highlight of your day, or maybe you're too stupid to operate the machine yourself. Still, it's hard for me to see the problem even though I somehow actually read this entire thread.

I think its pretty fair to say that almost all faggots have been diddled as kids. After all its how faggots reproduce.

i really really like scanning and bagging my own things. i hated doing it as a cashier for other people
there's even a couple publixes that have now added in self-checkouts and it's great. i've waited in line far less since these things came out, i'll eat the 15 calories it takes me to bag up my basket if it means i save 15 minutes while the fuckface in front of me is trying to pay 3 different ways, the old lady can't find the right card to use and then needs help using technology that's older than her, and the single tattood mom who has to bitch about her WIC not being accepted

As long as you have your receipts on hand and don't appear trashy/ homeless, there is NOTHING they can do. Employees are not even allowed to confront shoplifters unless they caught them red-handed.

If you promote taking jobs away from your countrymen you should be tried for treason.

>aggregate effect of collective action can amount to significant detriment
Theft of grocieries has a net effect of recapturing wealth for the poor and working class; because there are more of them, and more people in those classes bother to do it instead of just paying. The benefit of a theft goes entirely toward the person that does it. The cost gets split among the employees, shareholders, and executives. But if the working class employees are the ones stealing, they're tending to recouping the value of that loss and then some.

If we're gonna build some ethics around it, it should be to avoid stealing if your family is already comfortable and financially solvent in the foreseeable future; and avoid doing it at small businesses.
