I'm sick to death of being treated like a potential thief at self service.
I hate pulling the race card, but it's noticeable how different I'm treated. And it's gotten much worse since the cost of living issues.
They will come and literally stand behind me watching me scan everything. Im not dressed in rags or anything. Even when I'm on business work clothes.
Some of those checkout people seem to have gone crazy with the modicum of perceived power they have over people.

I live near an Aldi, but its soo fucking good having a self serve that doesn't accuse you of theft.
The staff are also rostered on at the same times, so you also get to know the stores staff.
Your aldi has self serve? I've never seen that before
If we add up how much we spend at our usual shops, many thousands a year, it's shameful how we are treated, absolutely shameful.
And the reason they do it is so that we forget the customer shop relationship, that we have a valid expectation to be treated with respect and politeness and that we have rights.
Maybe we should start shoppers associations. The problem is in a duopoly what kind of power can we exercise?
And the racism? I suggest take videos and post about the racism.
nah, just steal shit to even it up. Silent protest.
I'm personally really looking forward to them installing those self closing gates at my local coles. If it closes on me I'm gunna wear a face mask and shout "Cant hold someone captive you profiting fucks" as I kick it down. I obviously wont be acting like that if there is young kids around.
I really love nice thick boots for kicking in stuff.
I've got steel caps for outdoor shit, feels like it'd do sufficient damage.
Ditto having blue hair
Some great leftist thinker must have a chapter in a book about how the corporations are thrusting more of the responsibility onto us whilst also treating us as a criminal for doing so
