What constitutes "better service" is subjective and based on personal preferences. I consider ATM's as more convenient but not a better service than bank tellers.

Not the biggest: User choice.

In stores that haven't outsourced that, free of charge, to the customer already.

I can never forgive the person that told me walks was good for all sorts of stuff and it turned out they were right. Stupid walks.

Way back there weren't any settlements, only nomadic tribes. They'd loose their shit alright. "Oh no, our transport and future food resources!"

I don't want to pay the same amount of money for less product or service. Also, I think it's nice that a secondary effect is a sort of solidarity with those who lose their jobs to a machine.

Why do everyone - from factories to grocery - stores want to automate if not to save money through laying off people?

I'm entitled enough to take my business elsewhere.

I prefer to go to the bank and withdraw cash, now that my bank is ATM only I want lower card fees or something. The bank saves money on this deal at my expense.

Same thing with self checkout at the groceries stores, they save a lot of money while I do the work. I could only accept it if I got like a 5-10% discount.

Tomorrow is today and it's not awful. It's still a bit too slow though, what if I wished I lived next week - or heavens forbid, August 32., 2069?

By the end of the decade (1999), it was estimated that around 34 million people were living with HIV/AIDS worldwide.

As of 2021, the number of people living with HIV globally was approximately 38 million.

Let's go back and spread awareness and condoms dude, then we smoke a blunt and do 90's stuff!
