    Tell that to people that could have had jobs as a cashier that those machines have taken away.

    May the hammer of Enoch do it’s work.

      Doing less work has been the primary motivating factor behind basically all of human progress. The problem is that the savings is lining shareholder pockets instead of reducing employee workload.

      I will, no problem. Luddites have no place today, thank you.

      Heck, cashiers are still wprking where I live. One of them just gets assigned to 6 or 8 self checkouts instead of normal register.

            Just learn to code right bro. You dumb ass libs always assume everyone is as skilled as you and every job you don’t want to do is lesser. Some people like being cashiers.

            Get back at me when you learn some labor theory and intersectionalize more.

              Lol, no, don’t put words in my mouth, dickhead

              You dumb ass libs

              Swing and a miss

              assume everyone is as skilled as you

              Even BIGGER miss. I’m an asshole and assume most people are far less skilled than me, and am regularly proven right

              and every job you don’t want to do is lesser

              Your words, not mine, I don’t consider cashier’s to be lesser to me in any way unless they, as an individual, give me reason to

              Some people like being cashiers

              Yeah, you’ll notice you said “some” and not “most”, so what’s your point, exactly?

              Get back at me when you learn some labor theory and intersectionalize more.

              Get back at me when you learn how to discuss what was said and not prop up a shitty strawman

            There is no automation getting rid of a shit job. The customers now have the privilege to do that job for themselves.

              Pick one: it’s losing people their jobs, or it’s not

              Quite prefer doing it myself, none of my local stores have any of the issues listed elsewhere on the thread. Must suck for them but that’s not a reason to not progress
