  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.

    Ehhhhh very mildly rude if at all. Like it’s not the most polite response but people are allowed to express themselves too

      I agree, but the argument is that this should go both ways.
      Ok boomer is hardly offensive, unless the target is found to be rather fragile

    I would rather someone be rude and fight for what’s right then someone nice that’s propagating a system of injustice because “my 15 mins are valuable”

  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.

      Can’t you read or do you just want to be right?

  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.

    “service” is no “special attention” but I get to the conclusion our misunderstanding might be a socio-cultural thing
