State Wants You to Get a Discount for Using Self Checkout
Steve LehtoFeb 13, 2023
And Rhode Island also wants to limit the number of self-checkouts per store. 11:49

It's all going to automated order picking and home or drive thru delivery...my son is heavily involved in this....Walmart n Kroger are set to battle it out..... fwiw we refuse to use self checkout and will leave a cart if needed
It's going totally automated ie robotics..ie no green hairs....if you want to pay twice the price and travel to a store you will be offered a "neighborhood walmart".......its already in the works whether we like it or notI've noticed that as well, but I'll be damned if I am going to have some 80 IQ gender-confused <redacted - see forum guidelines on epithets> with green hair picking my produce for me. I want to squeeze those avocados myself. And the bananas have to have just the right amount of green on them.
We have to relearn how to do everything.It's getting so's one needs to learn how to grow their own food... i.e., homesteading....
The logic is mind boggling. We were at the woke childrens museum. I bought drinks for all of us. The drinks were served in heavy duty plastic cups with dome plastic lids. However they banned straws. WTFPaying 10c for plastic grocery bags at the grocers will probably offset any discount.
Going from paper to plastic sure saved forests!
Of course we're saving the planet from certain death.
Never mind that plastic is used for every packaging imaginable from meats to cookies!
But hey, at least we're feeling good about it.

Because the autistic dweebs in Tech, and the Lizard Men in business, have made simple things SO frightfully difficult.
Like, simply getting a phone. Remember when after a move, you went down to the Mountain Bell office, met with the front-counter person, asked for service, answered a few questions, put down a deposit, and left with a time and date to meet the installer? NOW you have to navigate contracts, prices, TYPE of phone, BRAND of phone, hope the phone model is not unusable (pejorative) - and many of them are.
Watching tevee. Remember buying a set, getting it home, plugging it in and turning it on? Nope. Gotta have proprietary remotes, converters, services, contracts, Internet, Roke-eewww, that all add up to over $100 a month, OVER your Internet connection. So you can get 1000 channels of Woke.
Microwaves that can't be made to work properly - no pressing a time on a pad; no, you have to go through a long sequence of obscure buttons. Wristwatches with 150-page instruction manuals.
Now, I have to worry about the Jabbed quacks, COLLECTING MY JAB-REFUSNIK STATUS. Which is leaving me, effectively without medical care. All the rational physicians have been fired or marginalized - just the Woke zombies, Jabbed, brain-fogged, worshipping Fow Chee and Pfize-Er.

So, you're gonna lie to your HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL?Just make yourself a vax card. Ridiculously easy. Took me 15 minutes. Although I did have to buy an entire ream of 110# card stock.
Showed it to them last time I went for a physical and they entered me into their database which is shared between all medical providers in the state of Virginia. Easy peasy. Now I'm officially a "vaxxed" person without having to worry about the blood clots or the myocarditis.
If anyone dares to question your "vaxxed" status, simply call them a vax bigot. If that doesn't work, screw up your face like Justin Bieber or this Canadian actress so they will know that you've had your compliance injections.

and they're sketchy at best... not the brightest in the bunchThey had 3 checkout clerks working.

That's a common theme, these days.and they're sketchy at best... not the brightest in the bunch
Me too. It also allows me to check the prices in the computer vs the shelf price. Over the past couple years I've caught 'em trying to charge higher than shelf price on several items.I prefer the self-server...quicker,
Because the currency wasn't as debased as it is today.I have to wonder how it was we had affordable groceries AND professionally-trained-and-paid cashiers in the 1960s.
Yup. Especially when anyone can simply d/l an official file of the card directly from the cdc that is ready for printing.Just make yourself a vax card. Ridiculously easy.
Hmmm....you can blame a lot of the insanity on money-printing and currency debasement, but not, IMHO, that.Because the currency wasn't as debased as it is today.
I can do that at home.New McDonald's cook your own burger!
That's what currency debasement does.They got the money free, but the value was sucked out of my dollars and yours.

Good for them. I'll stay away.A grocery chain is removing self-checkout after realizing executives hate it as much as customers do: ‘We like to talk to people’
The supermarket chain Booths says self-scan machines can be more trouble than they're worth.finance.yahoo.com
customers who can't find their money, can't understand why their Amazon Store Discount card doesn't work in the card reader like VISA or SNAP. The ones who want to yakk and prate.
The self-service line just scans, and then when I hit PAY on the screen, asks me 20 annoying questions
Do they expect me to help unload the 18 wheelers at the loading docks as well?
Only way I am doing self-checkout is if I get paid for it. And I've been known to walk out of a grocery store leaving a loaded cart behind because they had long lines and only two checkers. Went up the street and got my groceries elsewhere.
Most self checkout machines I see will take cash too.Were it not for the push for Surveillance State Cashless Society, I'd rather deal with machines and even no cash.
