Sure, for now. But grocery and other stores (especially larger chains like Walmart and such) are attempting to force customers into using the self-checkout by purposely minimizing the number of human cashiers, resulting in longer lines and a longer wait for customers.

For example, I don’t go to Meijer all that often but I’ve never been in there when the handful of human operated check outs didn’t have a line of at least 2-3 customers each, meanwhile there are a dozen other check out lines sitting idle.

And those human cashiers who lose their jobs or are never hired in the first place, cease to contribute their tax dollars to society while imposing greater costs on government services.

Enjoy driving on pothole filled roads because there aren’t enough tax dollars to keep them fixed…
