Comment Re:Changes but not automation (Score 1) 870

I seldom have any problem with the "idiot" at the cash register. My slowdowns are caused by the idiot (no quotes here) in front of me, not only moving slower than a grandmother, but sorting through her welfare cards, getting her credit/debit card declined after spending 10 minutes trying to figure out how to put it in their machine, then having to fumble in her purse for her olde checks. The same person would be in front of me in the self-check, only worse, since she wouldn't have the cashier helping her while rolling her eyes at the customer's ineptitude.

With respect to your comments about people having too much free time, there are two kinds of people. There's the guy who after retirement finds himself starting a small farm, working at the local grocery store or writing novels because he just needs something to do. Then there's the guy whose ideal use of time involves smoking crack, beating his wife over some inane argument, and ending up on COPS for us all to shake our heads at.

The sad thing is, the second group far outnumbers the first.
