It's Embert - Season 4, Episode 52 – “I’m Not an Employee, So Why Am I Bagging My Own Groceries?”

Embert takes on the scourge of modern retail: the self-checkout lane. In a rant filled with beeping, bagging, and borderline nervous breakdowns, he lays bare the absurdity of stores turning customers into unpaid interns.

Highlights include:

• The disappearance of Brenda, Queen of Aisle 6

• A war with the bagging area robot

• Grandson’s misguided faith in “efficiency”

• An angry debate over sweet potatoes vs. yams

• And a haunting question: Do I work here now?

If you’ve ever muttered “I just wanted toothpaste” while waiting for an override, this one’s your therapy session—with Embert as your deeply irritated life coach.

New episodes drop regularly, or whenever Embert’s done fighting with the frozen peas scanner.
