And ya'll wonder why I buy 90% of my non-food items online.

I found this demotivating:

Looks like it was ripped from the pages of Nelson: the early years of costume parts

I refuse to use them, if I am going to do the work of that store's employee, I want the employee discount.

I hear ya. I use them because the lines are generally much shorter. Provided you don't get the MIA clerk like Vanatage talked about, or some ruhtard that can't master scanning a fucking box of ho-ho's.

I refuse to use them for two reasons, most likely a couple people lost their jobs due to this type of machine. There is never a line at those machines as nobody wants to deal with them...

Second, you usually spend more time waiting on an actual person to come over and fix what the machine can't do or figure out. I'd rather just stand in line.

If you're opposed to using them because they put someone out of a job, then how do you ever buy a car, clothing, computers, etc...where robots have been doing that shit for years?

Yeah...no doubt.

Also, there's plenty of line here in WV. NC must be absurdly resistant to progress, or people that just get off on standing in lines. Screw all of that. Plus, I can bag more efficiently than any cashier jockey. AKA, the way I want it, and wasting a hell of a lot less bags. I know they have rules they have to play by when it comes to bagging. I don't, so I load the hell out of them.

Now, if there's an open line manned by a human, I will jump in it. Otherwise, sorry, I'm not standing in line over some non-existent righteous crusade.

Maybe because I don't interact with any of that on a daily bases. Maybe in those aspects where it is nothing but repetitive over and over again process it is better left up to a machine. I've done assembly line work before and wanted to kill myself after a couple months. Maybe it's due to the fact that those machines in retail could never actually replace a human due to the fact that they are never interacting with the same person which that alone brings in too many undefined variables for those machines to ever be capable or reacting to where to a person it is simple. Machines are designed to work within the boundaries of their programming, and that programming will always limit their capabilities on how to resolve the an undefined problem.

That's why I liked Aldi's BITD. 1 dude/chick punching in all the products by hand...and going faster than you would think was humanly possible. And you bagged/boxed your own shit. So groceries were piss cheap & check-out was lightning fast.
