For me it’s holding a VHS in the store and looking at the cover.

Perhaps. Stores used to have an employee take your shopping list, and go fetch all of the products off of the shelves for you. As I understand it, Piggly-Wiggly pioneered a new method, making the customers go fetch everything in their grocery stores, in order to save money on wages.

We got used to doing the store employees’ job on that one, so we’ll probably get used to the self-checkout, too.
