The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

If you go to a store, and they force you to provide free labor before you can leave with the stuff you wanna buy, that’s what I would classify as “fucking over the customer”

But maybe you enjoy providing free labor?

It's literally faster and more convenient??

You also have to walk around in a store and can't wait at a bar in the front while an underpaid intern is forced to fetch the items on your shopping list.

Why would you want a service human just to scan your groceries?
