Agreed but some ppl still believe that is taking away.

Oh if only energy was infinite and limitless....you'd be correct. Rare earths are running out, as well as oil, and natural gas. No corporation can fight against the laws of physics.

@matt thomas There is no excuse to be unemployed in this country in 2020. The opportunities are endless

@@michaeljohnsonbaugh7962 yes if you have a degree the thing is that you more or less have to leav the USA to be educated cusss its not free!...it should be free or least the company's should offer a education.

@Ronald McFondle There are thousands of people looking to make an easy buck. Especially with a minimum wage. Sounds like the easiest job available for that price. No wonder its not available. The further into the future we go, the higher we raise the bar. Adapt or Die

The same goes for self-serve gas pumps.

🤣

True, also you can't self checkout tobacco products the young lady probably had behind the counter at the convenience store

Hard work hard work will be finding jobs after Robotics and machines take over.

Corporations aren't invincible, and energy markets can be thrown into chaos any day of the week.

This is your opportunity to push yourself to get something better. Cashier jobs are meaningless and a machine can do the same thing. It cant be good for someones mental health to knowingly go to an old archaic job that could easily be replaced by a machine. Take this loss as an opportunity for growth. You can do better.

@@braydenrayden4695 that's a little judgmental. You don't know this person or why they were working as a cashier.

If your 22 with kids and cant get into a trade school, cant afford college than wtf do you expect?

@@johnappleseed8146 The boomers out there would say, 22 with kids!? lol. Some people just cant empathize

@@michaeljohnsonbaugh7962 and ironically, a lot of boomers had kids when they were in their early 20s, because entry level jobs actually paid a living wage in their day so they could afford to support themselves and even a family. But now they yell and scream about how these young "unskilled" workers don't deserve $15 an hour and scorn anyone in their early 20s who has kids and struggles to support them, and just say, "well, you shouldn't have had kids if you can't afford them!"

with or without kids schooling is not free the tutoring is insasly expensive what is she support to do? Move to Canada where is 75% cheaper than the US

I agree with you. People say they like to associate with humans but in Finnish supermarkets (smaller stores are differing thing) many cashiers are dismissive or look very annoyed. Supermarket cashiers who behave like normal people are rare

Same.

tboogiex - I think you are a self checkout person?

@@Rehunauris It is the same way in America. Yesterday my wife encountered a similar person here.

@MATTY MOLDOVAN People who cannot correlate the disappearance of stores with the attitude of cashiers will have to depend on online shopping.

I love to see cashier's 🤗 there quicker than those stupid self checkouts 🤮

​@@unknownwolf4046sounds like a skill issue

Finally! Someone is awake.

7.25 hourly... you want 10 cents for checking yourself out for 3 mins?

@@KDRolls yes! A penny earned is a penny saved!

Me too!

Human interaction is better than machines even tho this new tech are making it easier for us to get work done.

thank you

Totally agree with you....... But people aren't seeing this. There is a loneliness epidemic and people will continue to withdraw

I blame millennials and mega corporations, millennials are the ones who prefer less social interaction and more technology, and megacorporations like Amazon are only listening to them.

I don't know... I don't like bunglers at the register's.

There probably Republicans.

@@heraldomedrano6993 Very true! I'd never expect to see a Democrat in such a position since it implies that they'd be employed and off of welfare like the fat deformed useless couch potatoes that they are. Unquestionably republicans!

That's artificially created by stores hiring less employees, so that we will willfully accept machines.

I'm not saying it's right, but I know mates who take the company discount when they use the automated cashier.

@Box Top Let me explain it since you didn't get the subtlety of what I wrote. The employee discount is the five finger discount. For example bananas are usually cheap, take one stamp off of the fruit put on finger and all of your expensive fruits are the price of bananas. I've seen people put more steaks in bags they didn't pay for. Hey I'm not going to tell, the stores are saving on having less cashiers. Let them police their own stores.

@Box Top anything is possible, but many are too cheap to hire security. I have seen employees ask people to stop. I asked a rhetorical question, do you have security? The thieves know and exploit.

@Box Top that's hilarious you're caught on CCTV but no one to apprehend but grandmum with her bad eyesight...

@@rs72098 right but those jobs require least a 2 year degree. and its not free? so what are the poor who can arourd collge suppost to do

forsure! cashiers can just get other jobs as....

@@justinkrann7406 manufacturing technicians. The trades are so desperate for a new generation of workers that they’ll actually pay them to go to school for their trade. I live in Arizona and they usually start off @ around $15 an hour. I currently get paid $15.65. Oftentimes we get overtime which is something that rarely exists in customer service jobs. Every month I get 16 hours of overtime so that’s $23.47 x 16 = $375.60 . $2,378 before taxes before I hit that overtime mark. I now get to work 3-4 days a week. I’d say it was best decision I’ve made. If I can do it so can many other cashiers. Oh and rent is pretty cheap out here. I only pay $387.50 but that’s because I’m sharing rent with a roommate even though I don’t have to. I could technically rent out my own apartment but I don’t mind making a few sacrifices to have more money in the bank.

They gotta quit f@cking and breeding

Funny. I have done the opposite. Lol. I’ve literally seen long lines in a store with no self check out and said “forget this” and left.

Better get used to eating lots of fast food then. It looks like self-checkout is the future.

xv zi yeah they did that in the Soviet Union and u see how that turned out? Technically almost everyone was employed, but when u have 100s of guys dig a hole, and a few hundred more fill it back up, you really haven’t done anything productive...

This! I avoid thise machines all the time hope they all break down and end up in junkyard where they belong

why they bucking and breeding, it's their fault

or end up 60 still home their parents pass away get the money and live off of that. trully heartbreaking

Wake up sheep!

and unions that would be forced on retailers meaning that even massive malls well just have 5 people manning the whole buidling

The long lines were artificially created by hiring less people.

@@rs72098EXACTLYYY

? some people don't have more than one choice. It's their livelyhood.

Joseph A, I say this with humble respect. There are always choices if by no other option a person has to create them. No one can exist only knowing what they knew yesterday, and this, I believe.

discorperted, a thick gel mat, compression socks, good shoes, making sure to sit during breaks, but even so your bones demand more kindness than standing for long periods of time. Back pain knows no mercy.

The cashiers at the sounthern walmart by me put all the cashiers in other departments.

Andy Mcgraw the entitlement is strong in you

Cassie Gilbert , explain

Andy Mcgraw explain why you think your are entitled for someone to bag your items? Theres many companies that have never had baggers. You pay for someone to check you out or bag your items is like say "Oh officer I'm your boss because I pay for your check"

Cassie Gilbert , entitlements is something you expect without earning. Have a grocery store tally up you items and package them in an orderly manner for ease of transportation out of their store is considered normal business. I think you’re just trolling and calling people names

Andy Mcgraw as well as bagging your own items is a "orderly manner for ease of transportation out of the store." Having self services is considered "normal business" for the last 25 years. From a retail employee for the last 19 years, Grow up; just because someone doesnt agree with your statement doesnt mean they're "trolling" but you sure are entitled to whatever ya think wrong or right. (Btw learn what entitlement means)

I agree with most of your points, however the 10 people deep line is not an issue. It's actually an improvement. It allows the first person in line to automatically move onto scanning items when _any_ of the registers frees up. This means if there is a delay at one, another free one keeps the line _moving_ however in a traditional register setup where each one has a separate line, if there is a delay at checkout then it holds up the entire line. At the same time other lines might not have any customers and be wasting queue space and customer time. It really is more efficient, it's just customers like you get uncomfortable seeing a big line vs a lot of tiny lines...

The shoprite in my town has multiple self check out lanes and ONE real register open. This issue? This is a retirement area. So you have 25 senior citizens who have no idea how to use the machines and are not in the physical health to do their own bagging and lifting. These stores are cutting back on workers to maximize profit. The customer experience is destroyed. CVS near me I have to scream to even find the one panicked and stressed out worker who is running the whole store, and I had to give LESSONS at the self check out to the two elderly women who saw me (a young person) and assumed I knew how to do it. Stores need to hire workers at a livable wage. Too many people feel like they are broke anyway so why put the effort?! I shouldn’t have to be there teaching two older women how to scan items, while the 3rd old man in line looks at me hoping that I’ll help him next while I’m just also in there shopping. They need to have the option of both. Not one lane so that you end up getting stressed out and doing it yourself anyway. This isn’t an option, they have made it the only option. They are forcing people to do self checkout by making the other lanes unbearable to deal with using.

@@CannabisTechLifenothing is more annoying to me then trying to rush to scan my own items while an angry line of people behind me is waiting their turn watching my every move. Yes there are other machines but those also have lines so “skipping ahead” isn’t an option because you’d have to line up behind those people! We need customer service to matter. The customer experience used to matter.

@@dawnjackson6299 they don't have to be cashiers so they won't be any jobs lost. They could bag my stuff for the clicklist and bring it to the pick up parking. Evolve with the times man.

Well I understand that maybe there are a lot of jobs in your area but not in mine many people with college degrees are bagging groceries in different parts of the country we have hemorrhaged so many jobs overseas and to technology we need all the jobs we can get there are fewer people that carry the groceries to your car then who bring it up and bag them I will say that it feels like we are fighting a losing battle to keep human interaction When AT&T switched over to automated operators it was 150000 jobs gone none of us liked it but we all put up with it I know that we have to keep up with the times but we sacrifice so much to do so

@@tula1433 I see your point on elderly people having to interface with them but their convenience to the many heavily outweighs the inconvenience to the few. Yes, nothing can completely replace a human cashier in some instances but skipping a huge line of people waiting for a slow cashier saves a lot of time. Again, ATM's never replaced the bank teller and paying at the pump IS using a self checkout.

@@tula1433Depending on the management of the store. The supermarket nearby my residential area retained most traditional checkout lanes, but also have self-checkout area for customers with 10 items or less with 12 self-checkout machines with 3 attendants to assist. Unfortunately though, those self-checkout machines only accept QR payment apps and credit cards.
