The do it yourself checkouts at the grocery store aka Uscans.
I hate them. They are another way to cut jobs from Americans who need them. I don't use them unless in an extreme hurry and even then most times I try to stop myself. My personal favorite is when the head hancho of the checkouts lady comes over and says "Uscan #3 is open" with her big smile. I just have to explain to them why I refuse to use them and rather wait. They give me the I don't care look or the I never thought of that blank look. I then once I get to the cashier (especially if head hancho checkout lady is still near me and can hear) explain to them what I chose to do, they are normally happy or surprised that there is still an American who doesn't think their time is more important than anything else. Then my FAVORITE part is to tell the cashier this right infront of head hancho checkout lady- "You better go after her job because soon corporate greed will bring in more Uscans and you won't have a job". ;D Do the math- 6 Uscans are ran by one person instead of 6 cashiers. That is more money to the corporation and less Americans employed. Now more math- It's all fine and dandy to have a bumper sticker on your car that reads "Keep buying foriegn and lose more american jobs" but how many times do you go to the store and use a Uscan in the timeframe between vehicle purchases?
The way I see it, more Americans lose jobs due to Americans thinking their time is the most important thing on earth by using Uscans than Americans lose jobs by Americans buying a foriegn car every so many ever years you buy a vehicle.
Next time you only have a few items and see a person or two in line for a cashier with a Uscan open, what are you going to do?
