New Study Finds 90% Of Grocery Store Self-Checkout Conversations Are With Robots

Shoppers across the nation are grappling with loneliness after realizing that most of their grocery store conversations now occur exclusively with self-checkout kiosks. The Center for Automated Loneliness reports that 9 out of 10 people admit to thanking the robot scanner, with 35% confessing they�ve told it about their day. In Chicago, one man was escorted out after loudly arguing with a machine about the price of bananas, insisting it was �gaslighting him.� Supermarkets insist the kiosks are �efficient,� though critics argue they�ve replaced genuine human small talk with passive-aggressive error messages. Experts predict that by 2030, the nation�s most intimate relationships may be with touchscreens. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
