It's a pretty solid hill I'm willing to die on. I like people, even if I disapprove of our economic model I will always choose humanity.

The day I choose a machine over people for the sake of expedience, I feel I will be deserving of the isolation I've earned.

I die on this hill for a different reason: the store holds the customer responsible for scanning or incorrectly scanning your merchandise. There was an article of a store calling the cops to arrest someone who accidentally forgot to scan something on the bottom of their cart.

Self checkout is a way for companies not only to get rid of a job, but to shift shrink liability to the customer.

If you're going to make me scan my own merchandise, then the store should wave my liability if I get it wrong.

Solid reasoning, I could get behind this too.
