in an economy that made fucking sense automating would benefit everyone but instead it just means corporations can lay off employees

I dunno man, I don't shop online... So for me, I like going into a shop to look around and buy stuff.
Also, If I'm at a fastfood joint, I'd rather just go up to the guy, tell him what I want and be done with it... I don't see the convenience of going through the whole routine of some touch-screen jibber-jabber. |

No, that makes sense. Let's pay somebody to stand there, listen to what you want to eat and then key it into the system so that the cooks know what to prepare. There'd be no sense in having customers do that instantly and for free. |

pretty fitting that fuzzy's woes about the changing world are entirely centered on consumerism and physical crap, what Billy Corgan once described as the "junk culture of the 70s/80s"

Why should the customer have to bother poking around with it? These companies try and spin it as some kind of customer convenience but it isn't.

you'll find that you are in the extreme minority. As voiced in this thread, most people prefer not to deal with a human if a machine can do it efficiently, and it allows businesses to lay off employees and not pay for their healthcare and shit, so they see it as a win/win. If it's not what people want, it wouldn't be happening.

I suppose it's not really a fuzzyroes post if it doesn't provide an insight into misunderstood loneliness.

I don't know why it's this seemingly big chore for some of you guys to spit out an order or share pleasantries with a cashier... It strikes me as incredibly abnormal. It's not a big deal to me or anything, but I find it easier if a cashier scans through my products and bags them as opposed to going through the self-checkouts and fussing about through the whole process... Again, not a big deal, but I don't see it as convenient. |

I think it's a reflection of this internet generation... No one even talks on the phone anymore, everythings impersonal to the point that simply placing an order is an inconvenience.
I really worry about the social ability of these upcoming generations. I'd wager big time that you're gonna see spikes in social anxiety disorders |

2) I don't even like self-checkouts because I don't want people to lose their jobs and I try to use lines with real cashiers when it's not insanely inconvenient... but I recognize that I am in the minority, and most people just want to get their shit done quickly and autonomously. I mean I want this too, I just don't want people to lose their jobs. |

Hey, at least all those quack doctors are going to make a tonne off the pharmaceutical company kickbacks when the social anxiety disorder movement kicks in.

that's not why i dislike human-operated lines, i'm great at disregarding social expectations like small talk. i hate them because they are slooooooooow and i'm much faster checking out my own groceries. and i always seem to get stuck behind a 90 year old who wants to write a check but forgot her pen in the regular lanes.

Support locally owned toy shops. They still exist. Buy your video games from the big retailers and real toys from the local shops.
Guitar Center is next. That's the rumor. |

I might be wrong but wasn't McDonalds actually considered cool until about 1998 or so?

I'm not really too sad about it. I don't know if children need to be bewildered by valleys of plastic possibilities, displaying all the joys and sorrows capitalism has in store for them.
