This is the test of whether your country is a high trust firstie country or a low trust thirdie shithole.
>>214642209I live in NH and our Wal-Mart practically only has one or two cashiers at the front nowadays, everyone practically uses self-checkout.
>>214642209a supermarket is a test? how so?here they just sell groceries
>>214642209Nah, we have them here.You're thinking of those stores with armored windows and cages everywhere that they have in american hoods, probably would not work there.
In my city they had an Aldi supermarket without a checkout. You could just grab you groceries and when you left the store it was automatically subtracted from your creditcard.It was in the city center in one of the busiest places in the country.Nobody ever visited it. They had to close it after 2 years because the store was always empty.

>>214642209Your cunt is full of jeets. No way you're high trust
>>214642593The moment a thirdie steps on firstie land they absorb civilization through the soil and behave admirably
>>214642373>>214642502This is why "all AI" would never take off. People want to see others handing them a burger, or saying "Hello" even if they're anti-social and don't like interacting with anybody. You want to go to a place with humans.
>>214642614pretty sure going to walmart isn't a social experience and no one actually likes lines and crowded storesit likely failed because it didn't work
>>214642614how lonely do you have to be to go to a store for human interaction? I just want my groceries man I don't care if they come out of a robot ass chute so I can go home and play minecraft
>>214642608Hello Achmed how's life been treating you in Alemannia?
>>214642693It's not about "going to a store to get human interaction". It's about "lack of human interaction". Might work if you're an autist, the average person doesn't want to enter an eerily quiet, desolate, whitewashed, place with no humans.The average person wants another human handing them a plate of food and waving over the bill, not pressing a button on a tablet, getting a plate of food lowered from the ceiling.
ultimate thirdie test:you earn under $10 a day for more than 12 hours of grueling work
>>214642736Most people get their social interaction or should from outside retail or restaurant destinations.
>>214642770My net monthly salary is over 200k php. Your thoughts, pinoy?
>>214642770Enough for a Welkin.
>>214642209Russia is the first world now
>>214642209this is just greedy corporate bullshit, it increases shoplifting which is the opposite of first world and it doesn't handle long lines well because only 60% of customers actually know how to use the machines.
>>214642614I wouldn't go there because I just don't trust "automatically subtracts from your credit card" shit.
>>214643047Why don't you trust Indians?
>>214642209we have those in Romania
>>214642209I always use them.
>>214642373I've seen a vid about similar shops in Belarus. Not sure if they exist here too.
>>214643032>it increases shopliftingMost of the shrinkage in retail is not due to shoplifting. Companies due use "shoplifting" as way to strip QoL, justify closures in high performing stores in profitable areas and other BS.
>have to scan, bag, and pay, all by yourselfPeak humiliation ritual
>>214642209We are a third world country yet the self-checkout counters here are robbed less often than the UK. Even the ones in Thailand Indonesia and Malaysia are less supervised than your average M&S or Tesco or Sainsbury's. How do you explain tjat faggot
