    I mean, walmart could easily fix that by having fucking cashiers.

    At the walmart I go to they put in like 60 self checkouts and have, maybe, one cashier running at a time.

    I don’t mind self checkout as a concept. Its fine if you are just buying a couple things, or something you might be personally embarassing for you… but they are not a replacement for cashiers.

    Cashiers and belts are needed to handle bigger purchases like monthly groceries and shit.

    Unless you are gonna take 25% off my bill for labor savings, I am not going to take my monthly shopping through a self checkout. I had to once when I had no choice, and I’ll never do it again.

      With self checkout I can literally get in and out the grocery store in like 10-30 minutes where 98% of the time is me choosing products instead of waiting 5-15 minutes in the cashier lane waiting for old people to put their shit on the rolling thing
