You stroll into your favorite food-jobber, looking to pick up a few things on your way home from work. Lots of people are on their way home from work. There are lines at every register and someone is in the self-checkout with $600-worth of groceries, beginning what will eventually become a 30-minute stop-start process that could have been handled in a five minutes by even the most incompetent cashier.

Well, the bad news is that some tech firm wants to convert the relationship you’ve built with your favorite cashiers into something inherently suspicious. And it wants to do this because retailers are claiming people engaged in theft generally head towards employees willing to help them engage in theft

Yo I didn’t know I could just get help with my theft, wtf? Groceries could have been so much cheaper this whole time!

What stupid logic.

What stupid logic.

Always. The shit excuse I got as for why we don't donate food to a homeless shelter at some restaurant I used to work at was because we'd be incentivized to cook more by the end of the shift. Fucking what? You're already making us weight that shit before towing it out, you can literally see the numbers increase if that's the case and call people out. Fucking unregulated capitalism bullshit.
