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.
I thought this way but have been told numerous times by retail workers that they like the machines, that they were overworked before they came in and now the workload is manageable.
Capitalism by design will always overwork labor. In this example, the employees finally feel their workload easing but soon enough there will be fewer of them doing the same work they’re doing now and the individuals that remain employeed will be overworked again.
That’s true, but hiring more workers and providing better pay and benefits to prevent turnover would have solved the situation as well.
Definitely don’t disagree there.
True soon they won’t have work so I guess everyone wins?
I mean you’re here rambling because someone refused your expired voucher. I’m not sure who is winning. :P
Whatever dude
