What's the world coming to? First, clothes manufacturers convinced women to buy two or three inadequate garments and wear them layered to generate an ensemble that can be worn in public without embarrassment or arrest. Said thin and flimsy garments also wear out quicker and are more prone to destruction in the washer and dryer.
Then, the world's retailers, who were already giving us crappy service, installed self-checkout aisles and shoved off all the labor of scanning and bagging our purchases on us, while prices remained the same and a bunch of checkers presumably lost their jobs. Except for the one harried clerk who is perpetually assisting customers with all the errors that occur during the self-scan process. I'd rather shoot myself (albeit only in the foot and with a .22) than go through self-checkout.
And now, drink manufacturers have convinced the public that it's trendy and cool to buy little powder and liquid flavor packets and mix your own drinks instead of just buying the end product.
Grr.
