The Rules

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

If a store has an intentionally terrible interface like this, or displays a video feed of you using it, I'm not touching self checkout. Going through a cashier's line is fine, and walking away from my cart and never coming back is fine if that's not an option.

I avoid the self-checkout at the local target because they display a video feed of you using it with a distressingly bright blinky light. It's just sensory overload and I don't need that in my life.
