  • You don’t ever HAVE to update software though. That’s just the way it’s usually done now. It’s a choice. Usually updates are made to add more features or monetization or whatever but you could just not do that.

    If you look at old video games for example those were released and never updated again. They will still work today too.




  • I prefer the human checkout and it’s not for any of those reasons.

    For one thing I have a family of 5 and scanning that many groceries at a self checkout is super painful.

    Next the grocery store made its money off of the backs of their workers then when it wasn’t convenient anymore they fired a bunch of them and replaced them with machines. Now you have 2 humans in the front of the store doing the job of 10. Their only motivation for adding them was money and not convenience based on how it’s been implemented. I still have to wait in a huge line that wouldn’t be there if they had cashiers and machines together.

    I love the idea of them it’s just not being implemented in the right way to make it super helpful for the customer.


  • I mean if the job comes with disrespect people will stop taking it right?

    Not that it’s a nice thing to do but it does sound effective. Consumers don’t really have much recourse when large companies adopt policies that hurt them. It’s designed like that for a reason. You won’t be mean to a person from your community so they make them the face of their bad policy choices. Then they can say oh sorry it’s just our policy and the issue goes away
