That's great, why would I pay someone to do something I absolutely don't mind doing myself, and even save some time while doing it. Do you also still pay someone to pump fuel into your car?

I think it has something to do with smoking morons blowing themselves (and others) up. Like I said, I do it on a human principle; not because it's not a good idea. They are annoying, though, because they chirp at you with ads, as you pass items on the shelf.
- nightfly 2y ago> Do you also still pay someone to pump fuel into your car? Until like two years ago I did (now-rural Oregonian). Now I pay the same for gas, getting it no faster and having to do the work and even sometimes I now even have to deal with loud commercials they put on the pumps. The only upside is it's easier to fill up late at night, yay.

- ryandrake 2y agoIf I'm expected to start doing something that they formerly paid employees to do, I'd expect to get something in return, like a grocery discount or something. It's like if restaurants started making you cook your own food. Why even bother to go?
