What value does a real human provide you though?

[–] nbailey@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They’re a skilled worker that has memorized the codes for the different types of potatoes, a skill I am unlikely to learn.

I guess it depends on the machine, but I don't have to memorize codes. You can search for the item by name when it's time to weigh it.

Why do you want to do that when someone else is getting paid to do it?

[–] villasv@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

If I can get home faster, it might be wort it. Not always, but sometimes. Specially if I'm picking up a small set of items that are easy to scan.

[–] dangblingus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I don't have to do the thing myself. They're doing it for me. Unless I'm misunderstanding your question.
