The classic PnP experience is to get an almost incomprehensible sigh similar to "voetsek" when you ask them to draw cash... and "jissis" mentioned when they stomp off to get more cash to fill up their drawer, along with the loud "plaaaastik" question, and also chewing gum while they klap your change down on the counter while uttering THANKS and chewing chappies.

iconic, and in the age of Ai they will get even more aggressive when the console says no,
the self service checkout will not scan, forcing them to type in a barcode, the payment terminal will fail, or people will be putting in pins too long.

cANCer and unions demanding everyone get into the welfare game.

Success through welfare! It's the Wakanda way

In Australia you scan your own groceries at the till.

This is one business where AI and robots needs to replace staff.

Imagine having 50 open tills instead of 2.

Same over here. It's great if you're not buying a whole lot, but for bigger shops it's a PITA.

Can also use a hand held to scan as you shop, and then tap your card on the way out, which is probably better.

Yeah, it's not too bad, although having someone do the honours is a bit less smelly.

only with diesel i filled up myself once in croatia, the handle was greasy as ****.

 

[vigras rojara]

Nah, petrol too. They have disposable gloves which you can use, but just yelling "Maak vol unleaded 95!!!!" or whatever out of the window is definitely easier!
