Why several big-box stores have ditched their self-checkouts | CBC News
  • We need more places where you can scan and checkout with your phone. For example: https://www.bigy.com/myExpressCheckout

    This single-handedly changed where I buy groceries - I can essentially just walk out the front door as soon as I have everything I need. Don't need to worry about:

    • Waiting in the massive checkout lines (even the self-checkout lines are long...)
    • Taking everything (or mostly everything) out of the shopping cart for the cashier to scan.
  • Can you drive a manual transmission?
  • US, 25, and I drive a manual. I feel it gives me more control than an automatic.

    Also, I got my license driving an automatic. Learned manual after. Didn't need to retake the test though which I always find funny.

  • Why do people brush their teeth first thing in the morning?
  • I don't usually eat breakfast and I try to be vigilant about brushing my teeth, so doing it first thing is pretty natural for me.

    My dilemma is usually closer to whether I brush my teeth before or after taking a shower.

  • The truly, mildly infuriating thing is that they will most likely charge you as soon as the trial ends unless you cancel.

    As someone who already likes the product: The trial is just a bonus - you get that time for free.

    As someone who actively dislikes the product: You'll likely only use the trial if it's absolutely necessary.

    As someone who is skeptical of the product: You may want to use the trial to help decide whether you like the product.

    As someone who is frugal: You would not want to get charged for something unnecessarily.

    If I'm skeptical and frugal, I'd be wary of starting a trial which automatically charges me at the end. I'd be more likely to seek alternatives. Apple may not target this demographic to begin with so the point could be moot with this example... but regardless, the fact that many "free" trials do this is probably mildly infuriating to anyone who is skeptical and frugal.

    Additionally, when I do find a true free trial, I would be inclined to take that as a sign that the product speaks for itself and that I'm not going to get ripped off.

  • Any way to view saved comments?
  • Oh thank you - seems they are there; I just didn't expect the saved posts and comments to be mixed.

    However, I think I was initially convinced that they were no under Saved because when I sorted by "new", I did not see the recently created comments i had saved at the top. I'll test this out again to double check.

    EDIT: Okay, so I just tested it with your comment and I can confirm it did not appear at the top of Saved when I sorted by "new".

    Seems the real root cause of my issue is with the sorting on Saved - it doesn't seem to work properly.

  • Any way to view saved comments?

    I was trying to find the comments I've saved on the Connect app, but the Saved tab on the left navigation rail only seems to display saved posts; not comments. Is there a way to view saved comments in the app?

    Update: It seems the comments are actually there under Saved. However, when I sort by "new", newly created comments appear after posts for some reason. I have to scroll ALL the way down to view the saved comments. This seems to be a sorting bug.

  • The dated lists I find helpful as well - I've been doing this daily for the past few months just to keep track of work tasks and personal tasks that I really shouldn't forget about.
