    My parents refused to use the self-checkout because “They take people’s jobs.”

    They were hardcore republicans perfectly happy to make sure those jobs got paid shit.

      Do they also book all their travel through travel agencies, always use full-service gas stations, valet their cars instead of parking on the street, make restaurant bookings through concierge services, etc? Those are people’s jobs too!

        I always go into stores to throw stuff from the racks onto the floor, to make sure the people whose job it is to clean that up stay employed.

        I never buy anything of course, I don’t want stuff that’s been on the floor!
