They're not fast. they're not convenient. They don't provide for a pleasant shopping experience. What they are is slow, annoying and irritating.

I am speaking of the "self-checkout" lanes that seem to be cropping up in the bigger supermarket chains. Until tonight I managed to avoid them like the plague. Unfortunately, it seems at least one of the major chains that stays open 24/7 has decided to close all their lanes except the self-checkout after midnight ( or earlier ).

I for one HATE this trend towards automatic faceless "service". It means less jobs for those who actually prefer working overnights (or who's schedule dictates that night is the only time they can work). I'd rather pay a little more for my groceries than not get the service of a living breathing person when I'm ready to checkout.

Last rant before I sit down to play Monster Rancher 3 for a few hours.

I DESPISE "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy". It'd be a great show if it wasn't for that walking fucking stereotype. Every time he comes onto the screen I want to punch his smarmy swishing lights out. If I wanted to see Buddy Cole, I'd watch "Kids in the Hall". Scott Thompson plays him better anyway.

I'm serious. It's as if the network producers said, "Yes, it's a good concept. But can't you find someone more ... gay acting?" The man is so flaming he's in danger of spontaneously combusting.

Thing is, It's not his level of "fagtabulous" flamery that upsets me. It's the fact that he forces it. He goes out of his way to be every bad stereotype that Middle America has about homosexuals.

Again, if they wanted Buddy Cole on the show then they should have hired Scott Thompson.
