When the KC Star isn't covering Whataburger or racism they are completely lost.

Last week we saw stories about republicans needing to be moderate in Kansas, and how one liberal in Lawrence wanted his vote to count more than anybody else in the State, and today we get Man vs Grocery Store emps.

This brave expose captured the most difficult issue facing our city/country, self-checkouts at the grocery store. More specifically how this Star employee will not shed a tear for the economic impact these machines have on the metro as long as his ice cream doesn't melt. I seriously couldn't make up an Onion post that was more out of step with the rest of society than this one.

Keep in mind, that JUST THIS WEEK, there was a story about how self-checkouts were leading to people being falsely accused of theft, etc.. Keep in mind that this is a Star writer, so research and fact-checking should not be expected.

Stores today are catering to shoppers who perceive self-checkout to be faster than traditional cashiers, even though there's little evidence to support that. But, because customers are doing the work, rather than waiting in line, the experience can feel like it's moving more quickly - CNN

Thanks to the economic decline in America thanks to Biden and his old white
friends, we can actually go all the way back to 1982. Inflation is at the highest rates since then, gas prices are through the roof and we are in a proxy war with Russia. Keep in mind, that Biden was in his 40s back then and in public office, so this assclown has been involved in almost every bad economic decline that this country has gone through. Yet you expect him to have the answers.

Anyways, fun time. Here is some shit that happened the last time inflation was this high.

1. Michael Jackson released Thriller

2. Disney opened Epcot Center

3. David Letterman's show began

4. E.T. was released

5. 700k protested nukes in NYC, which lead to nothing

6. El Chichon Volcano erupted in Mexico killing thousands.
