Automation.........everyone thinks it is bad. Takes jobs, soulless and makes humans even more lazy and feckless. But mission creep has already commenced in the supermarkets.
Being served by a woman, middle aged and functional. A polite entreaty is offered in a corporate tone. Bland and toneless. However I tell her that we have two small lots of shopping to be paid ro separately. Nothing...not a asausage by way of recognition of the words.
The belt moves, the second amount of food shunts into her arms reach. The cashier repeats the same corporate hello. No humanity behind blue eyes. Success. the supermarket has turned a normal woman into a robot. Onwards and upwards!
