If the median age is that high in your town, then I think that would certainly explain it. It would certainly lead to safer & low crime environment. Where I live, we have one of the highest crime rates in America. I don't care what DeSantis or anyone else says, because reality hits you in the face here.

Of course, you are trying to justify it.

Why are you trying to justify it?

One of the nearby supermarkets is now (supposedly) using a camera/AI system to look for whether all items have been scanned. It does seem to work, although it also generates false positives. Of course, it could also be some guy sitting in an office watching a camera...

Self checkout honor being a thing of the past because you and your ilk are disgusting losers not worthy of society.

Do you happen to live in one of the five counties (out of 67) that voted for Charlie Crist instead of DeSantis?

That's one of the most blatant personal attacks I have seen in a while.

A disgusting loser......

That's because the younger folks don't want to work - they'd rather be influencers on social media.

I hate self check outs and will not use them. I will stand on a long line for a cashier. Why put someone out of work?
