Idk where you live but around here they used to have 10 cashiers open at busy days. Now it's 20 self checkouts and 3 people "watching". It absolutely got rid of some jobs.
I've never seen or heard of someone getting fired and replaced by a SCO. it just doesnt happen.
Yeah they just wait until they quit and then don't hire another person. Duh
No actually they dont. Ive worked in grocery stores for 10 years that is not how it works.
How does it work then? And why would stores invest in these if it didn't save them money?
Because cashiering sucks ass? and no one wants to do it so theyre constantly understaffed. being a SCO attendant is nicer for the employees and the customers a lot of the time. but its not feasible for every transaction so there will still always be a need for cashiers. Maybe you shouldnt talk about something you havent done yourself cause im not explaining this to you any more.
