So there has been lost of talk about certain interest groups and people saying how self check out will end up killing jobs.
Do we see it as progress? Convenience or annoying?
While I understand the importance of entry level jobs I feel those positions can be better used elsewhere in store such as keeping shelves stocked. Has anyone been to Wal Marts lately? It looks like a bomb went off.
Self checkout lanes were recently added to the discount grocer near me and there are no longer massive line ups at peak hours. You can go in get those 2-8 items you need them leave quickly. Before it was 10 mins in a line or longer while someone decide to have a convo with the cashier.
Then you have stores such as a Decathlon that use RFID technology to check out. Literally 30 seconds.
Yes it gets annoying when someone has a cart of groceries that they are scanning but the technology is here to stay. I feel that Quebec though could end up passing some law to ban it
