    Last time I was at a Target with only self checkout I went to customer service and had them scan me out.

      It’s a baller move. It probably annoys the person at the customer service counter in the moment, but I respect it.

        It helped to be polite but firm about it.

        “There are no staffed checkout lanes and I hate those robots. Please check me out here.“

          I gotta remember that for the future.

          I get paid to work with robots. Are you paying me, here?

          That’s not being polite, that’s just being an entitled dick head thinking you deserve special treatment.
