Tesco have the fake asparagus out this morning

Supermarkets using cardboard cutouts to hide gaps left by supply issues
Public mockery as problems with deliveries and a move to fewer product lines result in empty shelves

It is why online stores show you things that are out of stock that most closely resemble your search.
They want you to know that they are "capable" of getting the items you want, even if they don't have them.
I feel like people would be more likely to buy other things in higher quantities if you drew attention to what's low/out of stock.
Eg, when TP was low during the start of covid, people bought more TP, paper towels, baby wipes, etc.
Idk, I thought the reason they have people working is to produce surplus value since self checkout is constant capital unless I misread this (its 2am)
Self-checkout still requires labour, it just makes it possible for one worker to work eight registers instead of one, thereby increasing productivity and enabling greater exploitation of labor.
Makes sense to me
