    Would you rather have 2-3 lines with cashiers or 6+ self checkouts?

    I would say I would get out of the store way faster doing self checkout. I call that efficient.

    Places like Sam’s Club with their Scan and Go checkout. I can scan all my groceries with my phone as I put them into my cart. Then I just walk under an arch with cameras that scans what barcodes it can. Then I walk out the door. I don’t even have to wait in line or go to a self checkout.

    Cashiers aren’t efficient

    If the company had to pay cashiers, then the prices of goods are just going to go up. Corporate execs and board members want the money.

    So, do you let the Corporate execs and board members save money and hope not to raise prices (maybe lower them), or make them pay a cashier so they are going to raise prices.

    Even though I hate the “please place the item in the bag!” “Unscaned item in bagging area!”. Self checkouts are efficient, and the future.
