  • Should get a discount or something

  • I won’t end up single-bagging a bunch of stuff that could be bagged together (e.g. if they scanned some window cleaner, they bag it separate, not knowing that some dishwasher detergent is coming that it could be packed with).

    Not that it is foolproof but unloading your cart in an organized manner helps with that. Though maybe you're talking about helpless baggers, I've seen plenty of both clueless baggers and customers who toss things onto the belt willy-nilly.

  • use AI cameras that lock up after every third item and require an override each time

    As a customer than once I've had those cameras trigger because I leaned in a bit too much to press a prompt on the touch screen and it flagged my head as some item I'm trying to fake scan. As an employee it is also fun to watch the cameras trigger on purses and children and grind things to a halt so it can warn me that someone's kid hasn't been scanned. Though my absolutely 'favorite' interaction with those cameras as an employee is having them trigger over me attempting to sign in using my name badge on the scanner. So it would interrupt my attempt to sign in to do something for the customer to make me sign in and reassure it I wasn't trying to steal something and then I had to sign in again to actually help the customer.

  • Are cashiers in the United States of America really required to initiate meaningless conversations? I’ve also heard of the occupation of a door greater, which sounds even crazier.

    The corporate ideal has their weird idea that everyone desperately wants to have conversations with employees. I think it comes from positive feedback often taking the form of, "Your employee was so warm and helpful and we had a delightful chat about X." and never, "Your employee was polite and didn't bother me with needless conversation." One of the trainings my employer has even includes a scenario, which is presented as ideal service, where the employee ends up chatting with a complete stranger about his dead wife including sharing pictures from his wallet.

    That said, while I'm sure corporate cares none of my in store managers cared when I was a cashier. Indeed, I had regulars who would seek me out because I specifically didn't attempt to inject small talk into the interaction. I'd still get pulled into it by customers who initiated such but otherwise it was mostly, "Morning. Coupons? That'll be $X.XX. Have a good one."

  • It is a common phenomenon that many things apparently inhibit pathogens in culture but are ineffective or harmful in an intact organism.

    It brings to mind this XKCD.

  • His standard for being labeled a Nazi is one Hitler fails prior to 1939. They might as well have a sign with bold print proclaiming, "I'm not to be taken seriously."

  • One of my personal favorites is seeing salt advertised as being non-GMO.

  • Now that it's Christmas Eve, what are you all planning to do for either Christmas or Christmas Eve?

    Jump

  • My wife and I pick a country each year and plan our Christmas Eve dinner to make of food from that country. This year we picked The Gambia so it is going to be domoda (peanut stew) and thiakry (millet couscous pudding).

  • Given the state of data harvesting I imagine purchasing a list of phone numbers associated with a given demographic is trivial.

  • Does anyone else hate winter time ?

    Jump

  • I love winter. Cold, dark, and snowy are my jam. To be fair this may be an ingrained coping mechanism from growing up in Alaska.

  • I’m actually really surprised that males / females are born at close to 50 / 50.

    A population in which births are overwhelmingly female means those who give birth to males have an advantage in passing down their genetic material. In your scenario a man will likely have more descendants than a woman, so genes that arise promoting male children would be favored. If you reverse the ratio and the population is overwhelmingly male then being female gives you an advantage and genes promoting female children would become favored. So you get a tug of war that balances out at roughly 50/50. This is known as Fischer's principle.

  • What do you secretly judge people for?

  • One of my stranger experiences as a cashier was watching someone waiting to be checked out change their mind and start trying to abandon some ground beef among the candy bars at the checkout. Apparently handing it over to me didn't occur to them. At least when I pointedly offered, "If you don't want that I'll take it." they handed it over.

  • A complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission alleges Donald Trump's 2024 White House campaign and its related political committees engaged in a scheme to conceal who is being paid for much of the former president's legal work in a possible violation of federal law.

    Legal payments as in payments to lawyers not legal payments as in payments in accordance with the law.
