Now I usually feel guilty when I use the self checkout and that in my opinion, that it puts people out of work. I also feel that when I’m patronizing a business, I’m paying for a service, a Cashier and even someone to bag all my groceries. I do realize that we are living in an automated age, but we still need that human element. Another reason is I don’t care for the self checkout because a machine doesn’t pay into the payroll tax which affects Social Security. The Social Security Trust fund will be depleted by 2034 and if the politicians in D.C. do nothing to reform the program, all of the recipients of Social Security will no longer get 100% we will be lucky to get 77%. Medicare is going to run out of money by as early as 2029. So the question is when you patronize a business and it has self checkouts do you favor that or do you prefer to go to the lane where there is a live cashier? And what about Social Security, are you concerned about its future?

Re: Self Checkout
And not only THAT, but asshole paul had to go to another supermarket to waste another hour of his "valuable" time to re-buy the shit he needed in the first place. You really showed 'em, paul!ZenithCKLW wrote: ↑Mon Dec 11, 2023 11:45 amNot only that, but I wonder how much food melted or spoiled before his abandoned cart was noticed and determined to be abandoned. Many times a grocery store will not restock that because they don't know how long it's been sitting, so it goes in the trash because of the ass who said who cares about the dead animal. I regularly see abandoned meat, fish, eggs, and milk in stores because of assholes like that, and that's the type of food spoilage that really pisses me off.craig11152 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 11, 2023 11:17 amThat is a dick move.

If having an actual cashier is that important to you then make note of it when you walk in the store which conveniently is right where the check stations are. If you don't see a live cashier station just walk back out.

Re: Self Checkout
You know I kinda admire Paul. And I'm pointing a finger at myself when I say this.
The dude just may have a life. Every once in a while this Comedy Show crosses his mind. And when he's totally bored, he checks in and comes up with a one line quip for each thread.
And the more you think about it, what's the chances the only time we really hear from him is when he forgets reading material while taking a crap?
You gotta admit. What is a more apropos read while taking a crap than perusing Buzzboard.
