Is this what we are supposed to be looking forward to? If someone out there is supposedly fighting against this, and I mean other than us cogs in the machine, why are MORE AND MORE of these propping up everywhere? Even our local thrift stores are starting to do anyway with cashiers and only have self-checkout. See more and more towers going up to support them, of course, and the upcoming "smart" city our mayor has plans for. It will soon be harder for many across this nation to have an option for even in-store purchases rather than being corraled to an online shopping "experience" using debit & credit, which will soon turn to only accepting crypto & social credits, all before, of course, doing an ocular scan of retinas to ensure we are who we say we are and are the person the credit/social credit is assigned to.
I am just getting in a bad place right now and really want answers to what this "NCSWIC" and what & WHO it is truly aimed for; what if it IS something we do in fact WANT to stop? Is anyone worried about BOTH sides deceiving us into a corner?
So we should all deal with long lines at delays at checkout so old people can socialize? They need to find a club or go to bingo night. The reason self checkouts are popular with people is precisely this reason. I’ve got better things to do than wait in lines at the local store. I remember the days before self checkout. It was ALWAYS a 10-15m wait while (mostly women) took forever with coupons and the checkbook that they wouldn’t bother to even look for in their purse until after the cashier told them the total. At least I have a option to avoid that nightmare now.
Good little sheep; be a part of the solution that will bring about the chips in your head or hand all to give you a little bit more "convenience" because you just how so many more important things to do with your time. One day you will wake up and realize that you helped usher in the demand for stores fully serviced by robots/tech, if not downright helping all stores close up and have shopping all online.
