    The store has chosen to save money by pushing work onto customers via a buggy robot overlord.

    Employees are the only person you can complain to.

    Just more billionaires making things shitty for everyone.

      Yeah I do agree that complaining to employees is useless, but it’s also a really frustrating situation and it’s not like you can get the CEO on the phone to complain. I wouldn’t personally complain at an employee, but I do get how someone might in the midst of such frustration.

            Where? Idk about your area, but in mine all the options are big corporate chains

            And even in areas where family owned retail stores still survive, a lot of people can’t afford to shop at them, because they’ll always have higher prices than the big chains, and with the price gouging that’s gone on since 2020, many families are struggling to make ends meet as it is.
