I loved the introduction
of the self-serve registers
where you could get things done
all on your own
because I am so often uncomfortable being served.

Part of it
is the social interaction
but more of it
is the belief that I could do a better job myself.

This is why I often try
to get my own water at restaurants
or pay up front
where it makes sense.
Full service gives me the creeps.

I probably give the service industry the creeps, too.
