One of the major chain grocery stores in my area introduced new self checkout stations that are just full on check lanes without a cashier. So you have to scan your item, place it on the conveyer belt, watch it travel down and just dumped in a little pile at the end, then walk down to the end of it and bag your own items. It’s even more of a pain in the ass and I’m sure it’s only because there’s even more surveillance equipment to ensure items are what they’re scanned as. Just fucking pay people. Death to America
