Season 4, Episode 60 – “I’m Not an Employee, I’m Just Old and Angry”

Due to a coding problem with Alexa, you are hearing this description instead of the actual episode of It's Embert! While they try to figure this out, if they ever do, please look for It's Embert on Spotify where you can listen to this and all other episodes. Thank you for your patience while some engineer that put a colon where a bracket should be figures out what they did wrong at Alexa HQ.

Embert’s blood pressure spikes as he rails against the tyranny of self-checkout lanes.
He didn’t sign up to become a cashier. He just wanted batteries—and maybe a little respect.

In this firecracker episode:

  • The indignity of being your own bag boy

  • The myth of “efficiency”

  • Glitches, freezes, and false accusations

  • And why self-checkout might just be retail’s final insult

If you’ve ever muttered “unexpected item in bagging area” in your sleep, this one’s for you.

New episodes drop regularly, or whenever Embert finishes trying to scan a can of beans for the fifth time.
