I don’t use self checkout anymore. Here’s why

• The scales. I bring my own bags and you have to tare the scale against your bags before you can start scanning and it only works right about ⅓ of the time. So someone has to come set it for me.
• If I don’t bring my own bags inside, my only option at self checkout is plastic. Paper bags are offered by cashiers. I like to know my bags can actually be recycled.
• Self checkout is constantly populated by old folks who would have had IE jam packed with garbage toolbars 15 years ago. They can’t work self checkout any faster than they could have waited in line.
• There is a 25 item limit. I see people with 40+ items in self checkout all the time. It just bogs down what used to be a fast thing.
• Finally, the biggest reason I stopped using it is because part of the cost of my groceries is to have a worker to ring me up and another to bag my stuff. By using self checkout, I’m saving the store owner money. I am being the customer and the worker. This is my way of fighting back. If the cost of my groceries is going up, I’m going to make sure that someone else has that little bit of extra job security. If we all stop using self checkout, they have to keep more cashiers on hand. I don’t think I have to explain how more people having more available hours to work is a better societal alternative.

I can see how I insinuated that taco bell is Mexican food, but I don’t actually think taco bell is Mexican food. Far from it. But it’s been memed for like 15+ years that taco bell gives you life-altering shits.

I seriously remember seeing this in high school as early as '07, but I’m sure it was probably going around before then.

I live in the OKC metro and if you’re looking for real Mexican food here, you’re pretty spoiled for choice. I won’t suggest we have the drop on Mexican food, but you can find some really great places here without having to look hard. Taco Bell is great because the food actually tastes pretty good and there are like four within a five minute drive of my house.

OP, I hate to break it to you but…

There appear to actually be Taco Bells in Japan. So let’s just say Ferrari, meet Nurburgring.

If you’re gonna have to pick between two shitty situations (pun intended) then you might as well choose the less harmful one.

Who knows? Maybe you have an undiscovered kink.

I agree with you on that. HGSS was major improvement on GSC. Plus, it had a pedometer lol

But GSC honestly scratches that itch I get for classic Pokemon in every way. I missed out on the physical/special split so it took me a while to adjust once I started playing Gen 4-6 (haven’t played past 6).

In short, New Coke might be objectively better, but it’s not Coca-Cola Classic lol

But that’d make a lot of sense when you consider the fact that trees outnumber people like 380:1.

It was mainstream music not that long ago. The music vid has 87 million views lmao

I’m not exactly saying “Cocteau Twins” or “Merzbow.” Now that’s niche.
