it's the future though. every store and restaurant is going to be slow buggy robots and laggy touchscreens and you will have to do all the work yourself while the company raises prices and vacuums up the money they would have otherwise had to pay to cashiers. loving hate it

one of the nearby aldis recently put in a self-checkout thing, which was weird to me. it's brand new so it's half as permissive and twice as annoying as the chain groceries who have had them for a decade by now.

lmao graph posted:never used one that didnt lol so on the weekend I had to buy some stuff from hardware store and it came to about $140 and I was using my partners card and this particular checkout doesn’t weigh stuff like a supermarket because idk it’s a hardware store. so scanned card and then came home and later on she asked me if I used her card or mine because she couldn’t see the transaction on her bank app so I checked mine and wasn’t there either so I went to look at the receipt to see if I could glean a clue as to what card was used and I read the receipt and see the line “declined”.. lol she’d given me the wrong card, a card with no money on it, and I just scanned and left with the goods for free as far as I am concerned, the big australian owned hardware place didn’t do their job of making sure I paid so it’s their fault I got the stuff for free

its hard to sit and be a supermarket cashier cause of all the reaching and so forth. I mean obvy they should be able to but my dim memories of doing that job tells me that sitting would have been awkward.

I think it's common in other countries though? Maybe somehow the stuff is set up in a way that would make that hard in most stores in the us, but it seems like there's no inherent reason the cashiers couldn't sit, and maybe just americans don't like that it when cashiers are sitting (I guess because they're standing?)
