Robot tills unironically good. We need people renovating houses and providing healthcare not making the same small talk day in day out.
Having a couple staff to help elderly, etc should be the norm.
However the problem is ppl aren't getting those other jobs, so the robot till just allows for layoffs.
Usually there are, not everybody needs attention and I frankly dream of the day you just walk out with your stuff.
Always taking a peek at the self checkout worker as im shopping to see if they're bored or a little too into being shopping cop. If they go to wipe down baskets or chit chat with someone, that's when all my bulk bananas and onions are getting bought
yeah if they are staring hard at their little spy phones, tapping away as they scroll through the cameras and screen mirrors i fuck off
before those devices it would be a good sign because it was a personal phone and they were checked tf out
I had to use all my inspiration on deception rolls the first time i realized they were watching me on that thing. Luckily it wasn't a necessary heist that day and i was able to absorb the cost but i was shook
If you weigh stuff where you pick up vegetables you can get away with pretty much anything. Not that I do myself since there's no self-checkout here
The new devices they have will show the clerk and they can look to verify you actually have vegetables on the scale. Hence why i now try to wait till they're distracted
Ah, I thought it only showed on your screen, that's how the ones I've used worked
As always, this makes the faulty assumption that under capitalism, unemployed till workers will go do those things.
We already have vastly more than enough people to do those things, and people working tills is not the reason those things aren't done. So until we fix that reason, I'll take the extra 2 minutes opportunity to get to chat to a fellow human being thanks.
