I'm now getting to the point that I feel inconvenienced if I have to talk to a checker at a supermarket, as I have become completely acclimated to dealing with the speedy, predictable, and non-chit-chatty checkout machines at most QFCs and Fred Meyers. The machines don't mind if I mix up the bottles in my 6-packs. They don't get distracted by phone calls halfway through a transaction. Heck, they don't even give funny looks when I am forced to buy feminine products for my girlfriend. Yes, thanks to modern-day automation, a man can finally buy his tampons in peace. The digital age is a many-splendored thing. Humans are so World 1.0.
