I don't like em at all, but it's the way things
are going to be whether I like it or not.
When they first started it years back, I would
stand in a line 10 or 15 extra minutes to keep
from using a self check. Now, there's not
really much choice. You either check yourself
out or do without. The only reason they ever
went that route is to eliminate a paid employee
as someone already posted.
On the rare occasion that they do have a live
cashier, I'll take advantage of it unless there's
a black woman cashier and a black woman
customer in line in front of me, because they'll
dicker over each item and start the pendulum
finger and the chicken neck jive.
