Sam Neill is checking out over self check-outs — making it loud and clear he will not be scanning a single item himself, ever.
The “Jurassic Park” star knows his take might ruffle some feathers, but says in an IG vid he doesn’t give AF about sounding old-school — he just wants real humans to help him out … and he also wants to protect their employment.

Sam breaks it down like this — using self check-outs feels like robbing someone of a job, especially with the fear that robots will soon take over the world.
He even throws out a deep one — if tech really takes over everything, will humans even make it to the grocery store checkout on their own anymore, and with what money?
As expected, the comments came pouring in — and for the most part, folks were riding with Sam. People echoed wanting real human interaction, and some even took it further, dragging other tech annoyances like having to scan a QR code just to see a menu.

On the flip side, others came in hot for team self-checkout — saying they love the convenience and can’t stand waiting behind someone with a mountain of groceries at the regular lanes when they only have a few items.
