What I dislike about shopping is self checkout. It feels like scabbing and stealing jobs from workers while making customers do their work for free. It seems like customers will eventually have to stock the shelves should it become any more "self-service."

I'm exactly the opposite. I prefer self-checkout because it gives me something to do so I'm not just standing there. I also get to pack the bags exactly how I want them done.

I don't see it as "stealing jobs" (what does that even mean, anyway?) anymore than pumping my own gas is.
