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.

You're still doing the work, though. And without pay.

"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!"

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.

Only US americans seem to be struggling to put groceries in a fucking bag. Not sure if it's hilarious or sad.

Do you need someone to hold your dick and flush when taking a piss because its too much work too ?

Holy shit dude, I just want to get out of the store faster.

I can’t imagine living my life being that miserable and bleak about everything.

Once you wake up, it's difficult to go back to sleep...

[-] ifItWasUpToMe@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

Hahaha I’m sure that sounded much cooler in your head.

[-] mydude@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

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...

[-] FLX@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I don't think the robots are getting paid.

[-] mydude@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Well, they kinda are. They are getting food and shelter. (power and storage)
