@matigo This particular chain (Safeway/Vons) recently went through an acquisition, and they're making several changes that are unwelcome. Unfortunately, they own six of the nine supermarkets in town, and the other three are out of my way. So much for competition and the free market.
@scottaw Yeah… Something bad, or did you just get a massive bonus? You OK?

@matigo This store previously had four self-serve checkouts monitored by one employee. They are chronically understaffed, and I'd rather scan and bag my five items myself rather than stand behind someone who's got a full cart and usually another customer in front of them. Plus, I don't always want to have to interact with the humans in meatspace at the end of a long day.
My local supermarket has ripped out their self-service checkouts. Apparently they're going for the senior citizen demographic of people who want to stand in line behind someone with 150 items, chat with everyone around them, then pay with a check.
Filling out my timesheet for the week so far, and I have already accumulated enough billable hours to fill through EOD tomorrow, and we haven't even got there yet. It's one of those weeks. ?

@matigo Somewhere in a box in my storage shed, I have a hoodie that's older than him.

@matigo It's one of those things that people, once they find out it's available somewhere, want to know. Doesn't have to make sense. Also doesn't make a damn bit of difference, as you correctly point out. :-)

@hybotics If you mean the repost icon, remember you won't see it on your own posts--only the posts of others. Try clearing your cache if you still don't see it. I had to force-quit Cappuccino on my phone before it showed for me.
