The push started when people refused to work because the government was paying them not to. Retailers were forced into self-check as the alternative to customers waiting in line for humans to check them out. The complaints were already coming in about wait times. If you want to wait for a human to do a job you can easily do yourself, fine. But I’ve already been in a local store that had no human checkout lanes. If you don’t like self-check be ready to cross some retailers off your shopping list.

True, true and true. Plus the fact that the merchant doesn’t have to pay the self-checkout machine to stand around and do nothing if there are not a lot of customers in the store.
