    At my usual supermarket, you can take a scanner thingy and scan your items as you put them in your cart. Once you’re at the lane, you put back the scanner in place, pay for your stuff, and it’s done.

        “What do you mean you take the items from the shelves? And you have to walk around the store yourself?! How is that ‘convenience’? You’re doing all their work without pay!”

        — Probably someone’s grandma when the first supermarkets were opening.

          Not at all. Those people at wall-e would order food on their tablet, a person getting paid, comes to deliver the groceries/slurpies to them…

          It’s honestly sad to see that people are so lazy that they’d rather stand there and do nothing than scan the stuff themselves.

          I bet these are the same people that drive around the parking lot for 10 minutes to find a spot closer to the door, rather than just parking slightly farther away.

            It’s not that i’m lazy, it’s that I know there are extremely wealthy capitalists that has paid millions to think-tanks to come up with this strategy of, offload work to the customer, so they can make more money exploiting consumers. And if possible, do it in a way where idiots online end up defending this model. Jeez people are suckers.
