    My introversion and social anxiety is so estreme, that self checkouts make me imagine what I would do if I mess up something, or take too long to finish, or imagine people observing me and the way I interact with the machine.

    Damn, I got a bit of anxiety just by writing this. The feeling is similar to using a computer while there are people constantly looking at my screen.

      Yeah, some of them are continually recording video, which is annoying. Probably a bunch of facial recognition and emotion/behavior analysis too.

      Don't forget the horrors of having to have someone's grandma sort though all your stuff since you look nervous.
