You go to the grocery store, you’re trying to save a little time, so you hit the self-checkout. Big mistake. Huge. First, it greets you like you’re a kindergartener learning to count. ‘SCAN ITEM.’ Oh, really? I hadn’t figured that out, you condescending robot. Then, ‘UNEXPECTED ITEM IN BAGGING AREA.’ What? It’s my own arm! I was reaching for my wallet! Is my arm an ‘unexpected item’ now? I’m practically doing their job for them, bagging my own groceries, scanning my own items, and for what? So I can be yelled at by a machine about my arm? I’m practically earning minimum wage just to buy a dozen eggs!
