This says much about respect and social competence in this society when the first instinct is to mock and abuse someone with different priorities than yours.
When they are that rude and stupid they have it coming
You mean "rude" in asking for a cashier? Not sure I understand
asking for a cashier?
That would be normal
"I don't work here"
Is a rude response to the question whether they would like to use the self-checkout.
You mean demanding special attention rather than using the self-checkout like everyone else? Not sure I understand.
I expect that the management is responsible for adequate staffing. Self-checkout typically doesn't even work. Not a boomer, not USian, YMMV.
Self checkouts don't work where you are? Odd.
Typically they need attendant attention, to be reset to be usable. Which makes it rather pointless. My expectation that checkout lines are to be adequately staffed with cashiers. This is, however, increasingly not a safe assumption, in Germany. I expect the situation to further deteriorate. As does everything else.
Here there are like 10 self-checkouts per 1 employee and they're just there if the machine gets confused about a weight. It's much better, and faster than waiting in the queue for a manned checkout. I can't imagine wanting to go backward, where's the benefit?
"service" is no "special attention" but I get to the conclusion our misunderstanding might be a socio-cultural thing
They didn't ask.
service is not something the client has to ask for but something the vendor provides. Just like you hold a door open for someone entering behind you, you provide that service, unasked. Having to ask for service is a failure in itself, it's just "no service".
Can't you read or do you just want to be right?
I'd rather "work" than wait behind people with 100+ items. I can be out the door in 2 minutes.
even faster if u skip some items from being scanned

I don't know where you live but here this would be a crime and very antisocial and despicable.
it gives retail a free card to jack prices
so blame the corpos for that. not your neighbour stealing some chicken.
Bro relax. It was a joke
I don't know where YOU live but Walmart is one of the biggest thieves in the USA. People working there still have to collect government assistance because they pay too little to live on.
I was once mistaken for an employee somewhere and my sleep deprivated response was to say "I am wearing pants so clearly I dont work here." I have no fucken clue what that means but I think it was a threat.
We're you at a strip club?
Pretty sure I was at an Ace hardware or some shit. Like I said I was severely sleep deprived and was looking for something, pretty sure it was duck tape for reinforcing an air conditioner.
Frankly speaking once I got to my car and realized what I said I started laughing my ass off since it was such a non sequitur.
I refuse to use them as a union worker, when I'm told to use the self checkout as I'm in line for the only cashier I just refuse. I'm doing it for you kids
