    Don’t feel bad, you earned it. Imagine how it’s cheaper for companies to pay god knows how much on anti-theft measures instead of paying a living wage to cashiers.

    ps. You should never use self checkout. We’ve all been tricked into thinking we can do it better/faster ourselves.

      I use self-checkout because I have a “20% off your entire cart” coupon that I don’t want to give up. When I scan it, I just put a random piece of paper into the slot so the machine registers that I put something in there. In this way, I kind of am getting paid to scan my own groceries.

        LOL companies actually encourage this fake bullshit. It’s called “adding value to the relationship” Bet you didn’t realize that someone putting your canned beans and tampons into paper bags constituted a relationship.

      Fuck off, it’s faster for me and I vastly prefer it. Quicker, less need to deal with other people and there’s no rush to bag your stuff. If you don’t want to use self-checkout then don’t.

      Because the companies get free labor. I refuse unless it’s legit rush for something.

        I wonder if people were pissed off that they had to go through the shop picking up products instead of having the shopkeeper do that for them.

          Maybe, but I like being able to shop for myself. I want to look over my produce and meats.
