    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.
