I have crippling anxiety - and i overwhelmingly prefer a manned checkout.

Manned checkout:

Hi, here are my bags, paying by card, thanks.

Robot:

Unexpected item in bagging area
Try and flag a worker down
they are busy solving the above issue for 4 other people
wait patiently for a minute or two
the worker doesn't realise i need their help
have to go ask them for help
continue scanning my items
above happens 2-5 more times

The robot tends to have significantly more human interaction, it's slower than having a professional do it, and the human interaction is SO much worse.

You don't even have to speak to the checkout person. Yet lemmy treats anxiety as normal, memes abound! Yeah, that's fucking weird and anyone that crippled is, well, crippled, needs serious help.
