  Is it really dynamic if the price is always “free”?

    If the price changes for them specifically, yes. That’s the entire concept they’re pushing here.

  I don’t know what you’re talking about, I’m obviously not gonna steal anything. Sure, accidents happen from time to time. The supermarket decided to replace their cashiers with self checkout operated by random non-employees. If I happen to ring up filet mignon as a Roma tomato, I think that’s just the inevitable result of outsourcing your labor to untrained civilians with no incentive to accurately do the job .

    Self checkout is only a valid option if you are stealing. No, I’m not going to do your job to increase your profits by having less employees. Fuck those things.

    This reminds me of Bill Burr’s bit on the subject… “Twenty years, I thought I was a standup comedian. Now apparently I’m moonlighting as a fucking bag boy.”
