    Yeah, those don’t work well with Outlook. I get an e-mail from Microsoft telling me to login to the web version only to see that someone put a 👍 on my e-mail. It completely defies the purpose.

    Microsoft really knows how to keep office workers occupied doing nothing at all.

    Holy shit, his age is showing. They did a rehearsed countdown 3-2-1 for him to sit down with aid from the guy next to him.

    Now I’m not going to blame an old guy for needing help to sit down. But I am going to blame his voters for electing an elderly person into a position he can obviously not fulfill. What the hell. This is discraceful.




  • The best system I’ve tried works by an app. You scan the items with your phone as you pick them up and put them in your bag while still in the app store. Pay in the app and then just leave. They can check your bag if they want to, and there’s camera surveillance.

    The self-check out systems don’t really do anything better than that anyway. It a waste of time in my opinion and only encourages people to cheat. They still need to do random checks and camera surveillance.


  • They also saves us from hearing the privileged “can you open a line more” idiots and playing the game where old people pretend that they never learned how to queue.

    If I want human interaction, I will go to a human, not a grocery store.

    I’d actually be happy if they can remove the cashier job completely, so nobody has to waste their life ringing up other people 's shit, while getting abused by same people. Hardly anyone takes pride in doing that job anyway.

    Despite machines and AI we don’t really see increasing unemployment. People simply do more interesting things.

    I’m all for protecting workers, but we don’t do that by keeping them in dead end jobs.
