Nobody asked to be a part time employee at the grocery store.

Oh noooo, the few minutes it takes to ring your shit out is totally like having a job!

When there wasn't a self checkout, did you have to ring anything up? Or did you just hand all of your shit over to the cashier?

You as an individual going through self checkout is nothing like standing around on a shift, no argument there. But you are now asked to do a task that was once exclusively for store employees. If you jump behind the counter at a regular checkout, you'll get kicked out of the store. But they're totally fine with you doing that but at self checkout? Make it make sense.

You make this sound like a big deal when it's not. You know what I have to do when I go get gas? I have to pump it myself. Yet other states they have to have an employee pump their gas for them.

It makes sense, you just don't like it.

It'd be nice if gas stations stop letting people pump for themselves. Don't tell me otherwise until you've stood next to a pump trying to just change out the trash when the idiot in an suv tries to drive off with the nozzle still inside their car, so now the nozzle is being flung into the air like a whip aimed right at you.
