I run into this process every time I visit Poland (mostly because I visit so rarely that I forget) and every time I'm astonished how seriously fucked up it is.

The most annoying part is having to scan a receipt in order to exit the self checkout area.

In the stark contrast to the above self checkout process in Switzerland works so smoothly. Mostly because nobody is subjected to the bullshit described above. There's even an option to grab a scanner, scan everything on the go and just pay at exit.

Ugh, just reading the summary made me want to puke. What the fuck is wrong with those people. Who the fuck thinks that delegating the responsibility to computers is a good idea. Can't they cope with the outcomes of their choices and need to outsource that responsibility to some magick software

It's called "data chauffered": instead of following the data, tell it where it needs to take you

A phrase that gains a completely different meaning once one notices that aella is attending.

I'd rather drop the religion from that list. Some religions propagate harmful ideas too and historically sided with fascists.

That certainly is an interesting take. I never thought about it this way
