Reading the comments, do people not like self checkout? Is it another one of these American things, that baffle the rest of the world? Like grocery baggers. I'm European, living in Poland and Denmark and if given the choice, I will always pick the store with self checkout. It's simply faster. Only old people don't use self check out, not because of boomer ideology, but because they need the cashier's help.

I'm European too, living in Russia and I've never seen self-checkout that accepts cash. Despite seeing many vending machines that accept only cash.

I'm from France living in Sweden and I've seen people not wanting to use self-checkout because it's used to cut cashier jobs. Where you'd get 4 cashiers, you just get one person watching the self checkout. I'm personally ambivalent about because I do find it faster and convenient, but it is indeed a loss of jobs

They also don't schedule enough employees to keep the lines running quickly, they only have 2-3 lanes open most of the time when it's busy as having another line is 2x $13-15 an hour for a bagger and a cashier. This gets people to either go to self checkout or wait forever. Naturally most people go through self checkout, which they'll probably use as an excuse to make more self checkouts.
(talking about the store I work at specifically, which isn't a Walmart, but I assume Walmart does the same)

Boomer uncle literally drives his electric bill payment to the local office to pay it when they have a perfectly fine online portal.

Same exact response 'that's someone's job' like the employee actually has a say.

Someone needs to write "Ok, Boomer" on this notice.

I feel like most memos in Walmart break rooms are this kind of fodder for shitposting material

But also, fuck off walmart

I agree with the boomers on this one. I'm not in the habit of providing free labor to a corporation I don't even work for.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 days ago

I agree! I was at a Walmart one time and some chick ran out right by us at a high speed. We had no idea what was going on but apparently she was stealing. The one worker said as they walked by us "you got all these people standing around doing nothing and they couldn't stop her?" It was a smart ass comment. Did that employee really believe that I would risk my life for Walmart, of all places? I don't work there, I'm not security, I'm not a police officer. Not my problem.
