I suspect the reason the stores will give is that it reduces costs which I suspect it does so we are all to blame for wanting lower costs. This is the same as the order kiosks at the fast food places.

Remember driving with my uncle when i was a little kid. Had to pay a toll on the parkway near him…10cent tolls. Of course they had the lanes with baskets to throw yoir dime in. He said to me…i always go to the toll collecter…u do t want them to lose their jobs!
Fast forward now….no toll collectors anywhere..all electronic tolling.
Times and technology change. We cant save low level jobs.
