    There is a faster method of deplaning. Inside-out is faster. All the aisle seats get their stuff and get off. Then middle, then window

    Unfortunately it was never implemented because it makes it difficult to charge extra for higher class zones. It’s also very difficult to get people to actually do it



  • Curbside pickup is an inconvenient option. Screens are a terrible interface for picking groceries. Maybe in the future a VR option will be as, or more, convenient

    I prefer the fastest and most convenient option. Picking out products in person is faster, and having a cashier scan the items is faster

    Seems most people like self-checkout because they have anti-social tendencies. That’s perfectly valid, but I don’t have that issue. I actually enjoy small talk with strangers


  • That change was driven by the drastic expansion is quantity and variety of goods. A person couldn’t reasonably verbally dictate what they’d like to buy in a modern grocery store. It’s far more convenient to choose them yourself

    The driving factor for self-checkout was solely profit, not customer convenience. I, personally, find it far more convenient to have a cashier do the checkout, because they’re far faster and the responsibility of doing it correctly is on them, not me. I don’t want police showing up at my house because the AI at my grocery store incorrectly decided I stole

    Look at all the people in this thread complaining about how slow other customers are in self-checkout. It’s clearly a widespread issue

    That’s a bad argument. Visa, MasterCard, etc. know who you’re transacting with anyway. That is functionally equivalent to just paying from a Coinbase Bitcoin wallet. On the public ledger, it’ll only show a transaction from a Coinbase wallet. No one would know it’s you other than Coinbase and the porn provider

    Woth crypto you could at least send it to your wallet, throw it through Tornado Cash, then put it in another wallet, making it extremely difficult to track

    In general though, if the government wants to know who made a digital transaction, they’ll be able to find out. Doesn’t matter if you use a credit card or crypto

    What makes Bitcoin bad as a currency is the slow, expensive transaction times
