If you go to Topeka you have to deal with the Westboro Baptist church. No thanks.

I traveled through Topeka once. It was meh.

Tbh, I like scanning my own stuff.

Cool by me

Thanks for the info



I haven't seen an grizzly in person either. Same with even a black bear tbh lol. I don't go looking tho

No problem.

Yeah, bears will sometimes block the road. Moose always walk in your yard and throughout the city.

I live in Australia so cold is actually attractive to me.
Also, isolation is good as long as I have the very few people I care about close by and internet is available.

Alaska can be charming sometimes

I enjoy it.

Haven't seen part 2 yet. But part one took A LOT from DL's Dune.

"Cold and isolation" is perfectly fine as a reason for finding a place crappy.

Oh, and it's dark af outside for most of the year too.

It's run by Republicans.

That isn't exactly a particularly good look for them. "It's so crappy here we'll *pay* you to stay!"

I'm not sure but I think it's more about the cold and isolation. Think it started when they were trying to populate the state as it was new. But yeah, if you don't like cold wilderness then the dividend isn't worth it at all.

Does Alaska have polar bears

I've always wanted to see one in person

They damn sure have bears, grizzlies. Polar bears you have to go further north to see.

Whats the lesser damage here? KY, maybe?

Indiana is ok.

You said you could vouch for the Alaskan one. What was your experience?

When I was young my dad moved me up there. Turns out you get a dividend just by being a citizen. They just give you money.

Would be cool if I hadn't played it on ps4 already.

Because people don't understand that I value my time more than I value anything else. It's faster to go through self checkout, and the labor investment on my end is completely negligible.

That's what I think, unless you have a lot of stuff, then I prefer cashier.

Was it a lot of groceries?

Billy passed the first grade
Ooohhh what a glorious dayyyaayyy

I been a-waitin' in school all day long
A-waitin' on the bell to ring so I can go home
Throw my books on the table, pick up the telephone
(Hello, baby, let's get somethin' goin')
Headin' down to the drugstore to get a soda pop
Throw a nickel in the jukebox, then we start to rock
My school gal baby, gonna tell ya some news
You sure look good in them baby-doll shoes
Well, it's a-one, two, a-pull off my shoes
Three, four, get out on the floor
Five, six, come get your kicks
Down on the corner of Lincoln and a-forty-six

And 300,000 playing Apex Legends

sorry you bought the corporate lie about shoplifting being why prices are high or stores get closed

grocery stores sell most of their shit at a 300-500% markup. Theft is included in shrink which is part of any major stores budget, and the vast majority of it is employee theft and damaged or otherwise unsellable/expired product.

but either way, shoplifting and employee theft are nothing compared to how much money big companies steal from their own employees every year

Still you don't think theft is a contributor to high prices?

I don't use reddit.

Bc there's a certain population group we used to ignore, however the internet gave them a bullhorn and here we are.

Self checkouts are faster which is why I like them.

They have taken exactly 0 jobs. Nearly every major grocery chain is actually employing more people than before due to the rise of Online Grocery shopping, someone has to pick/organize/package all of those orders.

Around here ~40+% of Walmart sales are through online shoppers.

I do online groceries.

I dunno about anyone else but I always steal at least 1 thing in self checkout now

You do?

Never heard anyone call it a "scam". That doesn't even make sense.

I heard it recently

Tried to watch multiple times and got like an hour in and turned it off every time. Felt like nothing was happening. Got to the sandworm part and I was just bored AF.

Nobody says its a scam. But its pretty clearly a move to reduce the number of employees that a store has without passing savings on to consumers, and pretty objectively for larger number of items its less convenient to scan and bag yourself.

But they still have most of the cashier stands staffed...

I think it's pretty convenient.
