Some of these people are fucking weird. Like the person you're replying to? Yeah, I would not want to know someone that antisocial IRL.

Maybe you're weird for making such a statement. Have you ever heard of social anxiety? It can be crippling.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

You don't even have to speak to the checkout person. Yet lemmy treats anxiety as normal, memes abound! Yeah, that's fucking weird and anyone that crippled is, well, crippled, needs serious help.

I have crippling anxiety - and i overwhelmingly prefer a manned checkout.

Manned checkout:

Hi, here are my bags, paying by card, thanks.

Robot:

Unexpected item in bagging area
Try and flag a worker down
they are busy solving the above issue for 4 other people
wait patiently for a minute or two
the worker doesn't realise i need their help
have to go ask them for help
continue scanning my items
above happens 2-5 more times

The robot tends to have significantly more human interaction, it's slower than having a professional do it, and the human interaction is SO much worse.

Different strokes for different folks, for sure. I don't particularly care either way but there are days that I only have a couple of items and zipping through self checkout is preferred.

Sometimes you want to just buy your shit in peace.

Lucky for both of you, that seems to be mutual
