Even Amazon cancelled their plans to get rid of stores that don't have any check out counters
They at least were considering future tech of scanning the item into your inventory as you take it off the shelf. Not making me do a dollar or two of labor to buy their shit.
You do realize that your grocery bill is $20 cheaper because you’re doing that $1 of labor, right? Staffing more people just makes their products more expensive which just makes you go somewhere else to bitch about self checkout
If the cashier is scanning 12-15 items per minute the average cost of having a part time, no benefits cashier would be maybe 5 cents per item. And there would be considerably less organized retail theft so they wouldn't necessarily have to pass the cost on to the customer.
