    200 grocery bill, that worker definitely would have made $20 in that few minute interaction.

    So the fact that the store would lose more money to the 10% discount is what incentivizes them to use cashiers.

    All y’all tripping over making these 2 numbers equivalent are missing the point entirely.

      I’m not missing the point, funny enough it seems to be you that has.

      Something should be done, but this is NOT the way to do it. I’m sorry you can’t understand that.

        Of course not.

        We shouldnt dare do it in a way that hurts the poor company.

        Perhaps we should solve it by making customers pay a fee for using self checkout! You know, those poor, downtrodden businesses really do need all the help they can get.
