Hi,
When we were discussing Walmart's prices in another thread, I began to think about the check-out lines. We have many, although they only open
2 or 3 with acutal human cashiers. Most remain closed. They have 6 self-cash outs manned by one cashier always open! Of course, the lines are very long for human cashiers.What do you all think about this practice? I have noticed it with our Foodtown, Home Depot, and others as well.
I must admit that it can be quicker doing it yourself, but are we actually taking jobs away from people by doing it ourselves? Should we get a monetary break, say 10% off for doing it ourselves?
I know here in NJ, you must bag your own groceries most of the time, they do not do it, nor have someone available at the times I go. You cannot get them brought to your car either, which can be hard on the elderly.
How about across the pond, what are your practices?
What are your thoughts?
