You are doing the useless job for free though. At our store items don’t scan so you have to wait while one person tries to help 10 people so it ends up taking longer that going through a checkout.
Yeah, if a company can deliver it for cheaper than your travel time and gas money, then yes delivery makes sense. Somebody gets to keep a job and you have better quality of life to spend it doing what you like.

According to you logic, I shouldn’t even go to the store.
Why am I doing free labor when someone can pick it up and deliver it for me?

Stuff would he cheaper if we get rid of cashiers. So I would actually be earning money.
Maybe stores should introduce a self scan discount.
It won’t be, the store will just make more profit. Our dollar stores have gone full self checkout and prices have gone up.
But self scan discount makes sense
Maybe we should just stop having human employees, and wait for our AI overlords to turn us into Soylent green?
Maybe, but there’s no guarantee. The price could also stay the same and the difference could go to shareholders instead
Otherwise you pay for it with higher prices.
Our stores have done both full self check out, plus higher prices, so it is lose-lose here
