Some are finding they still need employees to combat theft, assist with purchases, review IDs, and check receipts.

    I never use the self checkout. I am already paying more and you want me to do the work for you. Lol I would rather wait in line for hours than scanning the shit for you and then also pay for it.

    Not using self checkout will actually help to economy as these major retailers will have to hire people. So stop using self checkout.

      B-but... i don't like people. Self checkout helps me avoid them. Besides do you want to move items over the register for >8h a day? Me neither.

      It also helps the economy to build houses and demolish immediately them afterwards (creates demand for building materials and jobs), that doesn't mean it makes sense. "The economy" is something the bourgeois made up to brainwash people to think exploitation is a good thing.
