I always wonder If walmart were to reduce their prices even more to encourage people to like self checkouts would people start liking the self checkouts or would people rather have cashiers checking them out even If the prices were to Increase even more?

If a cow won't give milk, is it a milk dud or a an udder failure?
Or was it raised on a feminist dairy farm?
Or is it a "Xow"? In such case perhaps IS best not to assume.

The whole point of self-checkout from the consumer perspective was to bypass long lines. Once they made all lines into self-checkout, it totally defeated the advantage for the consumer; and now it's just a way for Wal-mart not to pay employees. No one actually likes self-check out for what it is.

^^^ moreover, I've never actually seen any data to support the idea that prices went down because of self-checkout.... but I do know that it caused some customers to shop there less; which sort of helps with the lines; but not much.

Because otherwise, behold, he stinketh! :p

I know a lot of people who kill off the old man but leave him lying around. Eight years later, here comes something that stresses them out, and that old man gets right back up. Gotta bury him.

Death is hard but burial is the toughest it seems, and takes the longest 🙄

Why do ghosts wear clothes? HOW do ghosts wear clothes? Is there some sort of afterlife boutique?

Are you stuck with the clothes you were wearing when you died? What if you dropped a slice of pizza on your chest earlier that day? Do you have to go from your death until Jesus returns saying "Yeah, I know, I dropped a slice of pizza right before the truck hit me" over and over?

Can you at least trade clothes with other ghosts? "I'm SO tired of these khakis! I've been wearing them for 248 years." "Sure, I'll trade you those for this dress suit for a few years."

There’s this series ‘Ghosts’ and the ghosts there are stuck with their clothes, or lack thereof.

That's another thing! What if you sleep naked and had a heart attack while you were asleep? Or what if you were getting out of the shower and slipped and broke your neck? You stuck nude from now until judgment?

And speaking of judgment, you know people gonna be judging you for centuries because of what you were wearing when you died. "Uh huh, look at that tramp. I bet STDs are what did her in."

They are often dressed to kill.
