> as a fellow human That's not what we were discussing - we were discussing you valuing them as an employee. Which if you devalue their labor output then, yes, you certainly devalue them as an employee. Saying "I value them as a human" is an entirely different concern/conversation IMO. Sorry about the semantics, but I fully believe you devalue self-checkout cashiers as employees after this conversation. Regardless - we're off in the weeds. I don't think we're in a productive conversation. Respectfully, I'm bowing out.
