  Why are u defending a corporation that’s making you do a job for free that people used to get paid to do.

    Because we live in a society where stealing is wrong. Sorry you don’t like self checkouts, but that doesn’t give you the right to steal. I don’t like speed limits, but I still follow them.

    Here’s an idea; if you don’t like self checkouts, don’t use them.

      I mean here’s the thing, I’m not going to bend over and cry about people stealing things when companies want to get free labor out of you. I don’t use self checkout unless I know the machines aren’t bitches to use, like HAVING to wait after every scan to be told to then place it in the bag etc. I absolutely will not use those.

      The issue comes when the stores have all the empty manned registers that can be used but they have 1 or 2 open IF they even have those open. They are trying to force free labor out of customers and Lotta ppl don’t like it. I get it. Still not a reason to steal BUT again I am not g9nna cry about them losing money if people do nor will I condone people stealing.
