@Gustodon @georgepenney I absolutely love self-checkout, and I'm happy I don't have to have a tiring human interaction every time buy something. For a long time I couldn't understand why people hate them so, and I assumed they just like to have a personal servant taking care of them, even if just for a short moment.
And then I went to UK, and tried self-checkout there, and oh my god. It was designed to show off every dark pattern possible.
You don't hate machines, you hate their owners.
