People are moving out of the services. Its all do it yourself now. I dont like it.

If I'm buying just one thing....to avoid a line up I might consider a self check out. That said. I am at Walmart and trying to purchase one spool of thread.....event 1.... All cashier line ups have at least 5 people in line ....I want to pay cash (it's a $3 item) but I need to use debit or credit at the self checkout, Event 2.....the automatic checkout does not accept that I have scanned and put my embroidery thread into the bag....so without scanning the second one, I put it in the bag.....the third finally causes the scale to rcongnizthat the item is in the bag. (Dishonest yes, but by now I'm really annoyed. Event 3. I don't want to pay for bags. I can't put my bag in the logical place (foreign object on scale)....bagging suddenly turns into a major chore. I could go on..... Invariably I need to have a cashier come and help me.....I give up...ill wait in the long line....or shop elsewhere.

Here in my country everything starts to use automated already in so many things.

In my opinion technology can help our lives, but I agree with you on the point that it make our society automated
