Keep seeing so much shit posted about #SelfCheckout / #SelfScanning - the latest one was stating it is "unpaid labour for the bourgeoisie" (sounds better with these french words to tie to the revolution, I guess?) - I can't help wondering what the deal is.
Should we go back to a setup where we went into the general store and told the person behind the counter what we wanted, and they got it all for us, and rung it up? Isn't it unpaid to pick stuff from the store ourselves?
I guess the home delivery store I use, is the best then. They do everything for us, fetch the stuff we ordered, and even drive it to us. Yay!
But when I go to a "regular store", I always prefer self checkout. I avoid lines, pack at my own pace. Most shops I use even let me scan stuff with ny cellphone, and I bag it directly, and checkout is a matter of seconds.
This is a much simpler and way less stressy experience for me. How is that "extra labour"??? I also have a complete overview of total cost at any time. (cont...)
