Iâm sick to death of being treated like a potential thief at self service.
I hate pulling the race card, but itâs noticeable how different Iâm treated. And itâs gotten much worse since the cost of living issues.
They will come and literally stand behind me watching me scan everything. Im not dressed in rags or anything. Even when Iâm on business work clothes.
Some of those checkout people seem to have gone crazy with the modicum of perceived power they have over people.

If we add up how much we spend at out usual shops, many thousands a year, itâs shameful how we are treated, absolutely shameful.
And the reason they do it is so that we forget the customer shop relationship, that we have a valid expectation to be treated with respect and politeness and that we have rights.
Maybe we should start shoppers associations. The problem is in a duopoly what kind of power can we exercise?
And the racism? I suggest take videos and post about the racism.
nah, just steal shit to even it up. Silent protest.
Some great leftist thinker must have a chapter in a book about how the corporations are thrusting more of the responsibility onto us whilst also treating us as a criminal for doing so
Iâm personally really looking forward to them installing those self closing gates at my local coles. If it closes on me Iâm gunna wear a face mask and shout âCant hold someone captive you profiting fucksâ as I kick it down. I obviously wont be acting like that if there is young kids around.
I really love nice thick boots for kicking in stuff.
Iâve got steel caps for outdoor shit, feels like itâd do sufficient damage.
Ditto having blue hair
I live next to an Aldi, but its soo fucking good because not only does the self serve not accuse you of theft, you also get to know the staff as they are always rostered on during the same time.

The staff are also rostered on at the same times, so you also get to know the stores staff.
