a cashier with a pulse?
I hate self check out lanes with every thing I’m made of. That is a job that someone doesn’t have because you are checking your own stuff out. The automated cashier is telling me to have a nice day? That is bullshit –> which is a phrase I have used while walking out the door without buying my cart full of stuff.
A large home supplies store recently had four self checking lanes open and one cocky employee announcing to all of us customers floundering at the self checkouts. “I got it all under control baby” I asked miss “control baby” if someone was sent home early, and wages were lost because of those self checking lanes. She pretended to be too busy to answer my question.
While touring Oregon, I noticed that every gas station had an attendant to pump your gas for you and the gas didn’t cost more. It was to keep people working. Did you know that at one time it was unheard of to pump your own gas? How long will it be before people find out that at one time it was unheard of to check out your own stuff. Maybe we’ll think about it while sitting in unemployment lines. We’ll have automated nurses, police and loan officers.
