Self check-outs are an awkward sort of half-measure as far as automation goes.
I kind of expect retail automation to head to a place where customers walk into what amounts to a lobby, select what they want on a screen and then have the good delivered to their spot in the lobby. Or, if a lobby can't realistically provide enough outputs, just have them all be stations attached to the building exterior.
The internals of the store basically acts as a glorified vending machine.
Or maybe we do away with big stores altogether and just have smaller vending locations everywhere.
Or maybe we just burn everything down in WWIII and everyone goes back to subsistence farming.

"aliens" isn't really like...what prey was about
Prey was about a fucked up alien invasion humanity didn't even have a prayer of a chance of surviving and one dude going on a fucked up spirit quest in the process
Human interaction is a blight. I long for the post-scarcity Mormon afterlife in which we each get our own planet populated by nanobots that cater to our every whim
but physical effort is a greater blight
a human operated checkout means I don't have to use my arms as much
yeah but then you have to deal with judgy teenagers judging your purchases.

you could even take advantage of the fact that nobody knows how to use computers and create a bunch of pre-bundled garbage, filled with your highest margin items, and label it with a big 'CLICK HERE TO BUY ALL OF YOUR GROCERIES REAL SIMPLE RIGHT NOW' button.

the divine right of [chat] is the doctrine that chat OPs derive their authority from Geth, not their subjects, from which it follows that rebellion is the worst of forum crimes
