I hate these damn machines. Every one I've ever tried has been incredibly shitty. They're configured to prevent stealing, but that means they constantly stop normal shoppers just trying to check out and force everything to a halt until an assistant coms over. But whoops, the assistant always just stepped away for a moment, or is helping someone else, or, or... Not to mention the basic fact that, screw you guys, it's YOUR job to do the checkout, not customers'.

> Not to mention the basic fact that, screw you guys, it's YOUR job to do the checkout, not customers'. I don't understand this statement. How is this a basic fact? It seems like you've drawn an arbitrary line for things that they're responsible based on how it used to be and are randomly claiming that it must be universal. Why isn't it a "basic fact" that your gas station is responsible for an attendant pumping your gas, or your motel is responsible for a concierge to make reservations for you? Just because these existed in the past doesn't make it a "basic fact" that it's their fundamental responsibility.
