00:00People from small towns, there's not the same chances and if you're taking away the limited amounts of jobs that there are
00:06for like 30 seconds of convenience, or so like some billionaire can put more money in his back pocket,
00:11it's just, it's disgusting. Do you know what I mean?
00:14I don't like the self-service checkouts at all. I prefer to go and queue. I'd rather queue.
00:20I think it's the way forward, AI, and I think if you use wisely, in the right way, it's good.
00:27Sure, obviously businesses will want to like try and cut back on cost. Labour is the biggest cost to a company,
00:33but in the long run, you start doing that, people will be like, well, if you're treating staff like that,
00:39why would I want to go shop at it? Those cut kind of values can come in.
00:43That's why you see like something that's good with like with Aldi and Lidl tend to be getting more and more bigger
00:49with people wanting to go to, because one, it's more affordable, got all the same stuff, and it's cheaper,
00:54but also typically in, when you go into them, they do have self-service checkouts, but more often than not,
00:58it's all the full.
