This is what happens when you try to “save” money by forcing people to use self-checkout.
As far as I’m concerned time is worth far more than money, money only has value because people give it value.
This. And the same goes for work in general. Doing work only has value because we attached money to it. People saying that scanning your own 10 items at the grocery store is labor and you should be paid accordingly… I’ll always respect peoples’ opinions and values, but something has to give if we feel as a society that that is worth compensation.
That is to say, the free labor for the corporations is not lost on me, I’m just thinking bigger picture. The budding socio-anarchist in me wants to burn the system to the ground and watch what rebuilds.
We were doomed from the start, damn those dank river valleys for establishing commerce and social hierarchy!
