Today, I scanned a full cart of groceries through the "self-checkout" register at Stop & Shop, and I only needed help from a human employee four times (twice because when I put down bags, it triggered some kind of shoplifting warning—you have to press a button before you put a bag down, or the scale decides the weight of the bag is some unscanned item—and once more to scan some apples and then a fourth time to scan some grapes).
You could have done all that yourself. It’s self-checkout for adults.
ReplyDeleteand what is the "self" really? not as integrated as your ego might believe-- and often you are part of a social network that completes your "self."
