This is classic - first, the hippylibs whine about how horrible Wal-Mart is to it's employees and what terrible jobs they provide. Then when robots start replacing those jobs, they whine about the "valuable" jobs going away. Pathetic. I'm already checking myself out at Wal-Mart with the self checkout line and I love it.
It is pretty cool.
We don’t have a Wal-Mart handy, but I LOVE the self-checkout lines.
Just goes to show you how valuable those stand-and-scan jobs are, no?
When I can walk through the door with absolutely NO training and NO experience and do it myself in 1/10 the time without having to interact with a surly employee… I call that “Progress” – but that’s just me.
