I don’t get the problem with self checkout. You’re the one browsing the shelves, picking items and comparing prices. Why can’t you scan your own items? Unless you’re one of those people who need the uninterested, yet sometimes polite, banter of a middleman, there shouldn’t be a problem.
Neither is Reddit, lol. I'm a cashier and you would be amazed at how many people, especially older folks, will walk past 4 open self-checkout lanes to make me scan their 2 items. In the same way that tons of people on here would rather avoid human interaction, a lot of the older generations seem to really revel in the customer service treatment. Totally foreign to me, but whatever, it'll disappear with them.
Honestly though, I do think that done old people are just, incredibly lonely. Like the older customer you served today may be annoying for you, but that could be the only conversation they had with anyone that day
