I think they grossly underestimate how much I don’t want to engage in small talk and how little patience I have when it comes to having my crap scanned and bagged.
I like paper bags because I use them for my recyclables, and whenever I ask for a paper bag at Kroger, the 14-year-old at the end’s eyes cross and they stare at me dumbfounded until I go down there and help them bag. Then, I get to bring out my inner Karen when I ask them to stop putting just 3 things in a paper bag.
I go to self-checkout, so that I can avoid the “how are you?” chatter, but mostly so that I don’t have to act like a total heifer just to get my crap bagged quickly and efficiently.
Definitely agree. I LOVE self checkout because I don’t have to interact with someone after spending all day force to do so at work. There’s a lot of introverts out there and we don’t have the energy to interact after our 40 hour+ work week. God, I love curbside/delivery too.
I like curbside in theory but I’ve been burned enough times with either items being out of stock or weird ass/ more expensive substitutions makes it feel not worth that hassle
