A lot of the workers at sainsburys hate the self checkout. I love them. I just rode to sainsburys, got some milk and eggs, skipped a huge queue of people who are scared of machines, put all my loose change into the self checkout, and was out of the store in less than a minute. I didn’t even have to talk to a human being, which, given some of the staff in sainsburys, is probably a good thing too. The other day I didn’t even have to use money for my £2.08 purchase of fruit and fibre (I used a card). No money, no interaction with people. The future.

I think the reason that the workers at sainsburys don’t like the self checkouts is becasue they are scared they will take their job. I think they are good.
