So I’ve been noticing most of the cashiers at big supermarket keep asking customers to use self checkout but little do they know that these numbers are being recorded and once executive of that big supermarket see customers have learnt to use self checkout then they will get rid of cashiers and replace with the self checkout. Same goes for cashiers at Petrol station, today I went to fuel up and had an expired voucher. She gave me a discount and then immediately canceled the transaction and said the voucher is expired. At that time I was thinking she’s trying to save $2 for a trillion dollar company who’s paying her minimum wage. People should use common sense.

    Make the minimum wage something people can live on and then we can talk about them making poor decisions.

    Why would anyone making that level of income put any effort or thought into the work? Their labor is almost always worth more than what they’re being paid in places that adhere to the US Federal Minimum Wage of $7.25. You know why the service is better at Disney than a local carnival? Cause they get paid a hell of a lot better to do the job.

      Hence use common sense.

      Doesn’t work like that.

      Businesses do analysis of how many people use self checkout and how many customers go to a cashier. If cashiers are serving more people , they get to keep the job.

      If not, another self checkout to replace you
