On: The failure of self-checkout technology

It's nice to interact with people who are strangers. Grocery store employees, baristas, mechanics, service people etc.

As you get older, a lot of the people you interact with regularly you have a responsibility for/to. Co-workers, bosses, family, kids.

With strangers, even the grumpy interactions are fun. No responsibility.
