I don't see the benefit for me.

They save money and keep it and fire the workers........

And have us do the work for them.

I said all this at the beginning self checkout. I'm for it, but where's the discount for using it since I know it's dropping staff hours tremendously.

I've seen stores drop from 6 cashiers to 1. Listen corp, my din your work is saving you gobs in taxes, insurance, HR costs, scheduling, etc, etc. Where's my cut?
