The developers of Lemmy are the type who have jumped the shark when it comes to leftism.

I can’t even blame you that much when places like Costco do their damnedest to get everyone in the self checkout line. If you’re not paying attention it’d be easy to roll through there with stuff that doesn’t really work well for self checkout.
Even when Susan is taking a huge cart through, a single queue for multiple service providers (self checkout) is always going to be theoretically more efficient than multiple queues - one per provider (one line for each cashier). The best of both worlds are places that have a single area to corral you into line, and a row of cashiers where you can go to the first available.
Yeah I really hate it when they give you self checkout but make everything function way way worse than what the cashier uses. I’ve never even considered shoplifting before but I’ve come pretty close on machines that refuse to scan because they’re stuck on something 5 items ago when I’m moving quickly. Especially if it still beeps when I scan new items but refuses to actually scan it because it’s hung up on something that it was slow to get the weight of – really throws me off. It’s not my job to baby your machine for you. I’m not getting paid for it. Just let me scan my shit and go.
I usually give my comm to whoever’s doing well on the imaginary leader board and moving the run along quickly.
Nothing, it’s just an extra charge so that the company can make more money.
I brought up this community on the ffxiv discord, and I think I managed to convince at least 1 person that lemmy is a pretty cool idea.
Ghost in the Shell (2017) was quite good.
