[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My step-father refuses to use self-checkout on principles of labor solidarity. Which I used to roll my eyes about--after all, who cares about a stupid grocery bagger...

Well, turns out he was right. Now that AI is coming for all of us, I see the light. Self-checkout was the warning shot, destroyed jobs, enriched corporations, and left us all with a MUCH worse human experience.[/quote]

I knew this was going to happen and it did. I don't use self-check out because why would I work for them for free? But my partner does because its "quicker" well that's what they want to you to do, feeding right into it. I bring my bags as well. I think it's insane these days that you have to check yourself out, pay for your own bags, anything else you can take away from me? It's messed up that everyone was on board with this and now look what we have to deal with if people stood up years ago about this chit, refused to do free labor and pay for bags things would not look as bleak as they do now. Jobs were lost all the while the corporations are making a killing, CEO's making more money, now increasing prices much higher than inflation just because they can. Everyone accepted this. And now there is little to no customer service, ZERO customer service,  almost no helpful employees ANYWHERE and AI that not only is nonsensical in most cases I've experienced but doesn't help at all and leads me to sadness and anger about the current situation in the world. Just such a disappointing life experiences most times out and about shopping and using any services. We are seriously all being taken advantage of but most people aren't/weren't able to figure this out before its too late, like it is now. [/quote]

Some people prefer the model of DIY. Discount stores like Aldi were always like this. The problem is regular stores doing this and then still increasing their prices. [/quote]
