You sound like the sort of person that would tell a poor person to go get a job rather than offer them a job cutting your grass or washing your car or something.
That sort of thing is part of the problem too, many would rather avoid poor people than to offer them an opportunity to earn money.
Yes, voice systems have been around for quite a while. But there was almost always an easy way to bypass all that and talk to a human. It was just as simple as dialing 0, and there wasn’t hardly much wait time, they tended to have more actual people operating the phones back then.
And you don’t go to the Dollar Store to socialize with people, you go to save money when buying toilet paper and cat food or whatever the hell. But hey, you do you, if you got enough money to piss away just to avoid low income people, then by all means piss away and live in your little bubble. The rest of us tend to look for ways to save money when we can.
Oh, thank you kindly stranger! I don’t know what I was thinking…

When was the last time you called practically any company for any sort of customer service? What’s the first thing you hear? AI.
AI has taken over most phone support systems these days, it’s almost impossible to speak to a human anymore, because they’ve downsized the staff and have AI do practically everything.
When was the last time you walked into a Dollar Store? You’re lucky if they even have two employees working at any given moment, because yay self checkout, who needs cashiers anymore? And the damn self checkout wants a fucking tip no less!
And now we got driverless cabs out there, because who needs a job as a driver? Just let the computer do it instead!
Hollywood hardly even needs actors or video producers anymore, they can just have AI crank out new movies for us.
I’m sure there’s way more examples that can be added to this list, but yeah, AI and modern technology in general are indeed taking over jobs.
- Trump is firing people left and right.
- AI and automation are taking jobs left and right.
- Big companies are laying people off left and right.
Someone riddle me this: Where are all the jobs at again?
over_clox@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Does people doing things that upset others also upset you?2·4 days agoThere was a certain type of perfume that seemed popular back in the 90s, that would make me instantly gag and almost puke within seconds. I have no clue how anyone found that as any sort of pleasant smell.
To me I thought it smelled like a woman with a nasty yeast infection, trying to cover it up with potpourri. But it wasn’t even the women’s health causing it, literal potpourri smell alone causes me the same gag reflex, the stuff just smells nasty to me and I can’t be in the same room as that smell for long.
So yes, there are reasons to be offended by particular scents, even if others somehow find them pleasant.

Like shit, I totally respect paper cash, but FFS, try to make sure your hands are clean when handling or exchanging money. And definitely don’t be literally eating food with your bare hands right at the register before even paying for it.
over_clox@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Does people doing things that upset others also upset you?1·5 days agoOur park is mostly a water park for kids at the front, with a couple pavilions, and a boat ramp and senior citizen center in the back. So yes, it’s not an official dog park, but unofficial its accepted as one by pretty much everyone.
We keep him on the leash when there’s lots of people or other dogs around, but on days when the park is practically empty, we let him roam free and burn his calories.
He was abandoned for like 5 months out at the park before we decided to adopt him, so most regular park visitors already know him. Police officers approve, they even helped us adopt him.
He’s a medium size dog, and mostly chill, just sometimes playful. He’s never hurt anyone.
Of course that’s not true for all dogs though, hence why we’re very careful regarding what sort of days we might let him roam around off the leash.

If only they had or enacted a policy of don’t consume any products in the store…
As far as the dog on the leash thing, we’re about 99% in favor of that, only exception being when we take our dog out to our city park, where we adopted him from as abandoned.
Brownie knows every inch of the park and I feel it would be wrong to not let him roam free occasionally when there’s not many people or other animals around. Those sort of days are few and far between though, so 99% of the time he’s on the leash.

over_clox@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Does people doing things that upset others also upset you?5·5 days agoMy response might be sligtly convoluted, but I’ll try to keep it simple. It relates to allergies.
For me, I am extremely allergic to oysters, and largely also allergic to shellfish. I’m so badly allergic to oysters that I cannot be in the same room as someone else eating them, the smell alone makes me gag, my eyes water, and makes my bronchial tubes swell where I can’t even breathe.
I however am luckily not allergic to peanuts. Regardless, I totally understand how potentially deadly a peanut allergy can be to those with the allergy, and if I’m in a public place around strangers, I tend to assume that anyone around me might have a peanut allergy.
Last year, I was in line at a gas station, and the woman in front of me waiting to pay had bought boiled peanuts. And she was fucking shelling and eating the peanuts while waiting in line, the bitch couldn’t even wait to pay for them, with cash, and exit the store first.
I called her out on it, and even pretended that I did have a peanut allergy, and what she was doing was not only nasty, but also a danger to others handling her peanut juice covered money.
She proved to be a Karen and not give a fuck, but I did speak my mind, on behalf of people that could possibly fucking die over her nastiness and carelessness.
