The more this becomes standard, the more mental fatigue we'll all be enduring. It feels like most innovation in modern capitalism the last, say, just under 10 years, is about outsourcing more and more mental and physical effort and labor to consumers, e.g., self-checkout.

- Shog9 3y agoI'd argue not just outsourcing, but ensuring that nobody gets to benefit from past labor or collective effort. By constantly varying prices and tailoring prices to the time, location and even the individual, efforts to shop around to find the best price for a given item are defeated, or enough confusion is introduced to lead to exhaustion.
- wenc 3y agoI hear what you're saying, but I have a different experience. I prefer to order from a kiosk and to scan my own groceries. It's not like I don't like the human interaction, but when I have only a few items, or I want to be able to browse the menu a little, I like some personal space rather than feeling rushed.
