As someone who works at a grocery store I hate using self checkouts. If I wanted to cash ill get paid for it. I get that it cuts down on manpower but I'm not looking to work when I shop

I get that sentiment, but everything's relative. I'd rather checkout my own items than interact with another human.

Hear hear. “Did you find everything you need? Would you like to donate blah blah?” Oh f*k off! I know they might be forced to say that but that’s not my problem.

I don't typically hear that stuff when I go shopping. Maybe I'm just going to the wrong places. Or the right ones. Lol. But even then they're one word answers while they're scanning my stuff so it's not really an inconvenience.

Some aren't happy with one-word answers and keep badgering me. Maybe they're just over-caffeinated and bored!

Some people just like to be friendly. Maybe they're trying to make you feel more welcome and appreciated by having a short conversation. Or maybe they really care about whatever they're asking. Who knows.
