    You don’t to talk to the cashiers, no one is forcing you to do anything and they won’t even remember you, it’s fine. Why so mad about having the smallest interaction with another human being?

      Some of these people are fucking weird. Like the person you’re replying to? Yeah, I would not want to know someone that antisocial IRL.

        Maybe you’re weird for making such a statement. Have you ever heard of social anxiety? It can be crippling.

          I have crippling anxiety - and i overwhelmingly prefer a manned checkout.

          Manned checkout:

          Hi, here are my bags, paying by card, thanks.
          

          Robot:

          Unexpected item in bagging area
          Try and flag a worker down
          they are busy solving the above issue for 4 other people
          wait patiently for a minute or two
          the worker doesn't realise i need their help
          have to go ask them for help
          continue scanning my items
          above happens 2-5 more times
          

          The robot tends to have significantly more human interaction, it’s slower than having a professional do it, and the human interaction is SO much worse.

          You don’t even have to speak to the checkout person. Yet lemmy treats anxiety as normal, memes abound! Yeah, that’s fucking weird and anyone that crippled is, well, crippled, needs serious help.
