Pook-Emu Bee: Links For 03-15-26

I missed posting Pook-Emu Bee links on Friday and Saturday was newsletter day. But today we are back and ready to trim down my list of unused Pook-Emu Bee links. If you enjoy the (almost) daily links and commentary, you can also follow via feed. 1. Quinn Cook says overseas hoops career hurt by global politics (Mark J. Spears for ESPN. March 11, 2026.)

When the checkout machine wrongly says “did you forget to scan something?” And the only option is “store login”, then I don’t want a pimple-faced teenager saying “the computer thought…”, I want an apology from the store manager. #woolworths #selfcheckout

Dank #SelfCheckout gestern mal einen richtig produktiven Tag gehabt: Erst zu Hornbach und dort 200g Kupfermünzen in die Maschine gekippt (gab Mecker von der Aufsicht). Danach zu Edeka, dort nochmal 200g Kupfermünzen losgeworden. Beim Bäcker dann das gleiche Spiel. Decathlon wollte leider nur Karte, so dass am Ende eine Kinderhand voll Kleingeld in im ehemals vollen Gefrierbeutel verblieb.

At this point, it's easier to put signs on the not-self-checkouts.

Trevor, when the self-checkout asked for trust, ID, and a second opinion — just for one lemon.

Trevor, als die Selbstbedienungskasse Vertrauen, Ausweis und eine Zweitmeinung wollte – nur wegen einer Zitrone.

Long Beach Implements New Regulations for Self-Checkout Lanes to Reduce Theft

The Long Beach City Council has introduced a pioneering ordinance regulating self-checkout lanes in larger retail stores, including grocery and drug stores. Known as the “Safe Stores Are Staffed Stores” ordinance, it went into effect last month and establishes several key requirements: stores must s... [More info]

I had to go to Wal-Mart because my current mouse died and I just needed something simple to get me by until I can get something better. I rarely go to Wal-Mart, but my small town has no other options. Anyways, I was standing in line for the one checkout register they had open and a man infront of me (very nice man with one arm) offered to let me go ahead. I graciously declined. I told him I wasn't using the self-checkout out of principle and was willing to wait. The woman in front of him gave me the craziest look, like I was an alien or something. I don't understand why this concept would be so foreign to someone, especially someone already standing in line for a cashier.

I don't use self checkout because they want to use it to hire less cashiers. They open less checkout lanes to force you to use the self-checkout. There is a lot of psychology to it.

Also, if I make a mistake and don't scan something by accident, I am at fault and can be prosecuted. They watch you like you're going to steal from them. I don't like it and would like to remove that part of the equation altogether.

I don't get a discount for scanning my own items. I get no benefit, other than not having to stand in line for their cashiers.
