And bathrooms

The only reason we have sex based bathrooms is because the women's bathrooms used to say colored on them and we never got the building codes changed.

Couldn't possibly help with preventing sexual harassment either.

Edit: people seem to be interpreting my comment as transphobic, it's not so calm your tits please.

Another problem solved by self-checkout.

Multiple personality people would argue that fact. Lol

Always struck me as a city thing, not a white people thing.

Maybe things have changed, but in the small town where I grew up, people generally wouldn't bother.

  • there would usually be a gap delineating one persons items from the other's anyways

  • the person who was professionally scanning our groceries 100% had the expertise to see the gap and comprehend its meaning

  • If (I never ever saw it happen, ever) they had grabbed something, someone would have noticed, said "whoops, that's not mine". Nobody would think someone was trying a scam.

I feel like this is an amazing measure of someone's general level of anxiety. Or maybe a measure of how little credit they give the person scanning groceries? Both?

It's a measure of how often some asshole that doesn't leave a gap between their groceries and the previous appear on the store.

Seems to me that it's about how present the cashier is. I've made sure to leave a huge gap and they still paid so little attention they were confused about whose stuff was whose.

Shouldn't have cropped the top person's username so we could see who supports being slightly disruptive, lol.

The real issue is you're using it sideways
