Ah, I never noticed that. But then again I don’t use self-checkout kiosks. I’ll stand in line for an hour instead to get a real person.

Our society is filled with decent folks who can get no better job than being a check-out clerk. So I like to throw my order their way.

Folks in hurry might choose the kiosk. Nothing wrong with that. I just lead a laid-back life, I’m rarely in hurry. πŸ™‚

You seem to have ignored the fact that it blows up your “but Walmart is different than TikTok because Walmart doesn’t collect personal information” argument just because you like to virtue-signal that you don’t use self-checkout.

Since Walmart collects personal data, shouldn’t it be banned since that is your reason for banning TikTok?

I don’t want anybody banned, including and especially people I disagree with. That was the entire point of the First Amendment. Start banning people, and you’ll eventually find yourself on the list of people to be banned.
