Remember back in the day when everyone was worried about robots taking over the world? Well, in a way, they have started– with cashier jobs!

A lot of Boomers advocated for menial tasks to be taken over by robots because it just made more sense to save money, which is exactly what big retail companies and grocery stores did when they invented self-checkout. Unmanned registers where you can buy your products without ever speaking to anyone else have been a complete revelation for younger generations, however, the older generations (you know, the ones that wanted the robots to save money), absolutely detest self-checkout.

Perhaps it's the complicated touch screen, the intuitive portals, and having to bag your own items that has turned the Boomer generation back on their 'robots of the future' but in this story, one woman takes things way too far with her incompetence and tries to sneak to the front of the line at the grocery store as a result. Scroll for the full story of ineptitude, entitlement, and retribution at the grocery line where one man stood his ground against a geriatric Karen.
