6. If I'm not sitting on my couch, I will only do business

With an actual, honest-to-god human being. Period.

I do use the self checkout at the grocery store, but that's because the lady who runs the self checkout flirts with me and all the checkers know me by name. Sometimes they'll come over and check me out anyway, on the self-checkout machines. A couple of them even remember when I was a bag-boy there almost thirty years ago!
