I started using grocery self-checkouts during COVID, but I've kept using them because there's rarely a line (and I'm a misanthrope). I'd probably go back to using regular human checkouts if I had to dig through all my crap to prove what I bought.

Having said that, I've noticed myself making mistakes. I've accidentally failed to scan an item, and I've accidentally entered incorrect codes for produce. When I notice, I fix them, but I've probably missed a few.

I guess the easiest answer is for grocery chains to reinvest some of those windfall profits and hire more cashiers.

The minimum wage was enacted to provide all citizens with a basic quality of life, including food and housing. Full stop. Everything after your incorrect statement is irrelevant as it is founded on an untrue principle.

My bad. I never knew a 16 year old working at a fast food outlet was supposed to support a family. I formally apologize as a white colonial male with priviledge

You say that as if the majority of minimum-wage earners aren't, and haven't always been, adults. Go read a book.

They don't read. It hurts their brain to try

Did you know McDonald's workers in Denmark make over 20 an hour AND the food is cheaper than in the states?

This is the same logic my old man has. I like to ask him if his breakfast is being made by a 16 year old on a school day.
