You're always subsidizing a company by shopping there though right?

I usually find that the self checkout line moves faster, but choosing a line had always been a guessing game.

I need to buy groceries.

I don’t need to support replacing humans with shitty robots.

If you want to talk about shitty robots, grocery stores have shitty robots. The thing can only wander around and look for spills and stuff, and then it just beeps and an employee has to come clean it up.

Basically they automated the assistant manager position.
