Cashiers aren't paid enough to deal with customers. At least when I'm using the self checkout they don't need to engage with me.
So, your solution for a corporation underpayying their staff is to offer to do their job for free so corporate can just eliminate the position altogether?
I like how you've taken a self deprecating comment that tries to empathise with other people and turned it into a confrontational jab at making one of the many failings of neoliberalism my direct responsibility.
I actually use self checkouts because I don't want to have to engage the social parts of my brain for what is essentially a tedious chore. However this means that staff also don't have to deal with me under those circumstances, which is a nice bonus.
To counter your jab, your solution to the failings of neoliberalism is to create needless busywork under dehumanising conditions rather than address the systemic failings?
You don't have to answer that, I was just making a point about how I didn't come to this thread to fight anyone. Put the knife down.
Oh, I don't like fighting with the knife. I just enjoy poking people with it now and then to see if it produces anger or genuine thought... I should probably find a more productive hobby.
