I enjoy dealing with machines more than humans, because machines don't have social cues that I can miss or screw up on. Having said that, self-checkouts are the bane of my existence.

Also, on Fridays in the summer, people take PTO again, so you end up being the only working squirrel there. Just make sure if there's a huge emergency, and you fix it, people don't forget.
