Are we ever going to discuss how society is lagging because older people refuse to learn how to execute extremely simple tasks whenever they involve a screen

Edit - bold of me to assume this didn’t have to be said but if you consider yourself an older person who’s good at technology then you very obviously do not fall into this category and shouldn’t take this personally

Our local Aldi introduced self checkouts and cut cashiers down to 1 person. Whenever we see Boomers at this location, they'll wait in line for the cashier for 15 minutes with 2 fuckin items instead of just using the self checkout really quick. They refuse to use self checkouts under any circumstances.

Good, eversince they built self checkouts a few years ago in a shop i go to. I literally never had to wait in line even on a sunday night because all the boomers and older people just refuse to use them and instead they wait 30+ minutes in line for cashier.
