Stuff that carries on just because people dont stop doing it.

I've always been told at festivals it has a negitive effect on groudwater and the water table and potentially rivers, perhaps that is because of such a concentrated volume?
Yeah that's where there's an issue ... lots of people on a small place.
 
Most everything around you is driven by inertia. Your country's political process, its legal system, its budget. Your employer's culture, its business practices, how you do your job. Your church's dogma, its rituals, its texts and how they are interpreted.

Most human beings do not like change. It's often the last resort of the desperate, rather than something people embrace. Learning how to do something a different way, the second time, is much harder than the first. Instinct and trained reactions get in the way.

This is why it is so important to get things right the first time, whenever possible.
 

I don't mind this much but don't ask to check my bags after. If you don't trust me to do it, don't ask me to do it.

I won't use them - left a basket full of stuff in the past when told they only have self serving tills on.

If I had my way I'd ban them - introduce a requirement for shops to have to employ x amount of staff based on size of shop/revenue. Almost like a social contract to the community for any supermarket.

I'd also ban shops forcing app downloads etc to receive 'discounted' prices. Shops should be forced to sell products at the same price to everyone in society, without having to surrender personal information.

Just use the scanner things, miss a few items and pray you dont get quality control.

Allegedly.

What's up with self-service?!

You go in, speed run it, get out the shop without any awkward "how's your day been?" and "can you hurry the eff up please Eileen"

Anything that avoids human interaction I'm usually all for - people are the worst.

But people are not as bad as them self service tills.

"unidentified item in bagging area", "you need a code" - be arsed with that. Its quicker to have a seasoned pro scan them. I don't know how to weigh kiwis to get a cost and frankly my dear reader, I don't want to know.

And society needs the jobs they replace. The entry level, flexibility, location etc - ticks a lot of boxes.

95% of my groceries come from online - shop has to employ someone to go around and pick all the stuff, as well as the driver. Helps my blood pressure, too.

Nar man, I tried online, too many missing items and sell by dates from last week.

Granted it was around covid time.

Amen to this.
