The self-checkout kiosk asking for your loyalty number, and to round up your bill are what I find particularly dystopian.

Wait till the ai checkstand stand accuses you of being a thief and forces the attendant to do var on your transaction while you watch the video replay of yourself checking out. With the same red and green boxes you see in the drone combat videos.

Had that happen last week to me at Kroger and it was really unpleasant.

Yep, even the self checkout is no longer worth it. I'd rather not go to the store than go through so many screens.

I don't follow, why is that particularly dystopian?
