I'm surprised too, I live by self checkout. I use reusable bags, some of which are insulated ones, and pack things irregularly compared to the store. I'm careful so I've never had a problem with things breaking. I don't like telling people what to do, especially strangers. Cashiers have repeatedly misunderstood what bags are which, use extra paper or plastic to pack my stuff, and sometimes have questions on what should be in the bag or what can be packed where. I avoid all of that just silently packing myself. I don't blame the cashiers, I just do thinks in my preferred way and won't be the asshole who "directs" them or something. I will switch stores before ditching self checkout edit: Should note my grocery runs are probably much smaller than average, which helps. I'm not using self checkout for a family of 4 or something

    I did wonder about that. I'd assume no for sitting as my card doesn't work until it's like half an inch from the scanner. For the wallet tap there's also simple software solutions like needing to opt IN to the controller pay and needing to confirm paying via controller on the console with a couple second timer before dismissing to avoid someone also confirming by accident. I think it's a fairly useless feature but it's neat in concept

    This would be kinda crazy to happen by accident. The person would have to be in the cart and have the card accidentally register. You can also set a PIN or require password entry before purchases are made as an already existing security measure. Those things would protect this as well. Idk if theyre automatically set up on a child account but I hope so

    Oh yeah I wasn't saying you're wrong. Just sharing since I thinkits funny I feel the same as you do but about the opposite end of the sugar scale for red bull. Full sugar monster is fine for me. I don't drink the full zero energies because they often mess with my stomach. I wish more stuff used cane sugar, I almost always prefer that version of a drink!

    Don't use any operating systems and most major websites then because theyre all using a coding agent now. It's just the way the industry is going at the moment

    edit: Linux uses Claude copilot ffs. It needs to be noted as an AI contribution and needs human review but Linux and Windows definitely use AI coding agents and I guarantee Apple does too. Be in denial all you want. I'm not advocating for them, I'm stating the reality of the industry right now.
