Seeing the number of self service checkouts in UK supermarkets is freaking me out a bit. Obviously we have them in Portugal too, but humans are still very much the default.
@goatsarah Humans? What on Earth do they have to do with checking out? You mean like back in the olden times?

@goatsarah Seriously though. There are stores in the US (one less than a mile from my home) where they've entirely done away with human checkout.

Just one bored security guard to check receipts.

@saramg Not even anyone to verify age restricted purchases?
@goatsarah Can't need age verification if you don't sell age restricted items.

@saramg How bizarre! I guess.

BTW, have you read The Book, yet?

@goatsarah It's just America doing America things. Like grinding away any last shred of dignity from the working class, then convincing them a billionaire tax cheat, draft dodging, sexual predator is their new messiah. #freedumb #makeAmericaRegressSomeMore
