@ajsadauskas@SituationCake@Seagoon_ if they could bottle the rage that “self service” checkouts produce they could power a city the size of Melbourne for a century.
@ppossej@SituationCake@Seagoon_ Assuming malicious intent is the worst part. They make you feel like a shoplifter every time you enter the store!
They’re the ones who took over almost all the independent supermarkets and chains. (Remember Safeway? BiLo? Franklin’s No Frills? Jewel? Tuckerbag? Festival? Rainbow? SSW?)
They’re the ones who jacked up prices during a cost of living crisis and made billions.
They’re the ones who ripped out humans at the checkout and replaced them with self-checkouts.
They’re the ones that replaced most of the brand-name products with their home brands.
They’re the ones that decided to clog up their aisles by doing night full during the day to save costs.
And then they assume we’re the ones with a malicious intent!
@SituationCake @Seagoon_ They also have another camera pointing at where your basket is.
It’s “smart” enough to notice if you place something from another shop in your basket, or if you put a bag from another shop in the bagging area.
But.
It’s not smart enough to realise that Chemist Warehouse bag probably isn’t something you got from Woolies.
So when you go to pay, it will show an error message, and call over an attendant.
And the attendant will take one look at it and go, yeah, that’s not from here.
It wastes your time, and the attendant’s time.

@ajsadauskas @ppossej @SituationCake @Seagoon_ I want to know why their systems can’t determine how many avocados I’m buying
@luciedigitalni @ajsadauskas @ppossej @SituationCake @Seagoon_ Another housing affordability issue.
