    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

      However, you’re increasing the client turnover, doing the cashier’s work and not getting a single discount for it. All of this while prices for groceries keep increasing.

      Does that really seem ok to you?

      This. I don’t even go in the store unless I just need a few things now or meat. In and out. If I’m getting a lot of stuff I’m making an order and picking it up. How’s that for job creation they do the shopping for me. I’ve been toying with even getting it delivered. Those large stores have tons of work to do like keeping it stocked up and trucks unloaded and what not, cooking, cleaning and some even have a place to get your car serviced. Hell maybe there would even be someone to help with electronics for once… I get it though sometimes you just want the full shopping experience. Staff it accordingly if lots of people like a cashier. We can have the best of both worlds people
