Replacement CEO

Anyone who is for those self checkouts can’t be good news for Joe Worker.

We said that about pumping your own gas.
We said that about ATMs.

@rod is just having the great depression flashbacks. Cut him some slack.

Self check out lines are different. You'll see.. Wait, you can already see after years of use. The dumb sss that use them. Still can't figure out how to use them correctly.

I prefer to use a human check out person. Like I've said before- nobody dreams of becoming a checkout person at Walmart when you are 60+ years old. Those old gals NEED the money and what few benefits they get. Every self check out machine is putting some one out of work.

I get it but listen, they are here to stay. People need to adapt. If anything I see the future going the way amaZon has their stores. No cashier's at all. Just scan your stuff on the phone or have the basket scan it, pay from the phone and walk out. That's the future.

Oh yes I know the robots will eventually take over but I will still do my part to throw a monkey wrench into that system. You have to realize that if there are no jobs for that group of people (and its a very LARGE group) YOU are going to end up taking care of them.

There are stores in Colorado that have scanners and bags you scan your stuff as you put it in the bag and then just put it on the scale at the end. It is a great way to get 5 lbs of steak for the price of 5 lbs of rice.

I understand Bernie but some things are here to stay and that's one of them. The technology loves so fast you either move with it an adapt or get left behind. That's all I'm saying.

How about driverless vehicles. It's only a matter of time.

Horses would be the though the weight limit would DQ a good amount of driver's. I know of a few who have to sit side saddle to drive a package car already.

All"s I'm say is that eventually it will bite the working man in the ass for using self checkout. Younger people are especially stupid for using these self checkers. I don't understand why a person would walk into MacDonalds and the counter will be empty or maybe one person in line and the idiot will choose to use one of those ordering screens they have set up now. They stand there and flip through 10 different screens to order a burger and fries and then 5 more screens to order a fancy coffee when all they have do is tell the old gal at the counter what they want.

I get your point when it's not busy but when it is busy they save tons of time. Soon it won't be an option because it will all be screens.
