From a legal viewpoint, selfcheck mistakes make you a criminal, and the stores make money for going after you for a settlement. Its already happening for customer mistakes to be prosecuted and settlements (walmart is the biggest culprit).

I'm buying groceries not getting into a possible legal issue, I'll avoid self checkout on a cart, maybe on 1 or 2 items self checkout is ok'ish.

Plus I feel using self checkout puts people out of jobs.

AI slop channel that pivoted from voyeur filming of women in public to Modern MBA ripoff video essays. Disregard.

I wonder why ksec is doing this to us. Promoting AI slop videos on HN. What dark path leads someone down to this state of affairs. It's just not right.
