    B-but... i don't like people. Self checkout helps me avoid them. Besides do you want to move items over the register for >8h a day? Me neither.

    It also helps the economy to build houses and demolish immediately them afterwards (creates demand for building materials and jobs), that doesn't mean it makes sense. "The economy" is something the bourgeois made up to brainwash people to think exploitation is a good thing.
