The last few posts made here, they've shown up, made the most inane, idiotic, and pointless comments, upvoted each other in a frenzy of circle jerking, and generally made a pest of themselves.

They're a nuisance, and add nothing of value to the Lemmy experience.

If you’re getting that worked up about mild non-offensive inane comments I hate to imagine how worked up you get using a self-checkout machine. Chill out.

Holy shit dude, have you used one?

Please place item in bagging area. Are you using your own bags? [Yes]. Please wait for staff member to come over and give you permission to use your own bags. Would you like a receipt? [No]. Please take this 30 centimetre long piece of receipt paper that isn't a receipt, it's just printed with stuff you don't want.

I don't think it's justified getting all upset about a few comments, but if I saw an article about someone getting arrested for smashing a self-checkout machine then I'd assume the machine probably deserved it.

They're beyond annoying for sure, but I use them every chance I get. My grocery bill has gone way down since I've learned how to use self checkout... properly.
