In other news, Joann has a huge online sale right now and someone scooped up all the Dimension cross stitch kits. And that’s why we can’t have nice things, everyone is trying to profit in the name of (small) business. #rant #Crafting

I've been writing software since I was 12 years old; I build and have built technology for all my adult life, and I still try to use the non-self checkout option and non-automated systems in stores as much as possible (to keep the checkers in the loop and employed). Fully automated everything isn't a benefit to society, it's only a benefit to the top of the pyramid, folks. The prices don't go down, the choices don't get better, those profits are not reinvested into benefit for the customer. So, don't be so fast to tell me to use the self checkout line, because it's faster. (yeah yeah, that's what your manager tells you).
My wife & I both refuse to use self-checkout. We don't work for you, giant grocery store chain.

They’ll probably sell them on Etsy for lots of mullah

@farah I loathe when people do that, ticket scalping, driving up prices because they wanted to personally profit... Taking nice products out of affordability and access of pooer people...
My local costco has someone buying up ALL the Squishmallow blankets. I try to imagine they do it for some school, but a part of me thinks... someone is trying to profit.
Taking fun/cheap products to use for personal monetary gains... makes me very angry.
How the rich get richer, and the poor suffer.
