Self-checkout theft causing problems for retailers β€” and shoppers who despise receipt checks (www.cbc.ca)

I started using grocery self-checkouts during COVID, but I've kept using them because there's rarely a line (and I'm a misanthrope). I'd probably go back to using regular human checkouts if I had to dig through all my crap to prove what I bought.

Having said that, I've noticed myself making mistakes. I've accidentally failed to scan an item, and I've accidentally entered incorrect codes for produce. When I notice, I fix them, but I've probably missed a few.

I guess the easiest answer is for grocery chains to reinvest some of those windfall profits and hire more cashiers.

When do you do when your choice in voting is ...

The answer's the same

  1. Pick the least bad
  2. Repeat

And also

A. Fight for better voting so that minority candidates with good ideas get the nod they need.

Picking the last bad is why we are slipping AS A WHOLE in the wrong direction.

Well let's stick with the second-worst as long as it keeps the absolute worst out and their bootstraps bullshit and the dissolution of services that keep us from being Americans. They have even more work to do down south than we do, and I'd like those fools from Edmonton NOT to make us imitate that idiocy wholesale.

  1. No we're not. Go look at some numbers.

  2. If your campaigning some 'bootstraps' idiocy, it's easier than changing us into America and their Medical Bankruptcy if you just move there for a few years. Put the fear of the aristocracy in you.
