Wanda Sykes: A Joke About Self Check-Out

Wanda Sykes (0:05)

It's greed, man. It's greed. These some greedy people, boy. Greed. And because of greed, we're all cashiers now. How did that happen? See, they're going through, and they cut out working class jobs, and they make us do it. Yeah. And how did they slow walk us into that one? I remember, like, maybe 15, 20 years ago, you went to your store, and there was a little kiosk, a little self-checkout kiosk. And our curious asses were like, ooh, I'm gonna go play cashier.

Because a cashier was a real job, with benefits. You in there, boop, like, ooh, I did it. Now you're doing it. That's your job.

You can't find real people now. Yeah, it's all self-checkout. And you know what really annoys me? When there's a line at the self-checkout. I'm like, I am waiting in line to work here for free. What in the hell is this? Then they got you snitching on yourselves. How many bags did you use?

Two. What the fuck? We should all be stealing is what we should do, because that's what they're doing. They're making you steal, so they got to bring the real people back. And it's not stealing. You work there.

You're not taking some entry-level position. Be the store manager. I have sales all the time. Store manager sale. Buy one, get one free.
