If we refused to use them more cashiers would be working. Great entry level position

I see no reason to have Trader Joes. I went to 2 TJ times in NJ and never bought an item. Wegmans would be a million times better.

I don’t like either. Also I believe Wegmans and Publix have an agreement not to come into each other’s territory.

I like self checkouts and since everyone claims that there is not enough staff available self checkouts might be the only way to get out of a store.

A checkout?
Don't they make you pay at those things?

There is not an agreement. There are both stores in North Carolina and Virginia.

I like Trader Joe's though I don't know that I would spend much money there. There are certain items that only they carry but the bulk of my shopping would be at Publix or Winn Dixie.

On the subject of self-checkouts... We can all remember when the gas station attendant used to come and pump your gas. In a couple of states like NJ, you still aren't allowed to pump your own. When self-service stations began popping up, my mother would drive around to find one where she could stay in the car - she would not pump her own gas. Me, I would drive away from one that would not allow me to pump my own and pay at the pump. The best possible world would still have both full-service and self-service but we don't have that where we live and we make the best of it.

Self-checkouts are the same way. Some hate them and won't shop at Walmart others love them and avoid stores that don't offer the option. The best possible world would have both. Fortunately, some stores offer both options - that's where I prefer to shop.

Your opinion does not matter to me. I love Wegmans and wish they
would come here.

Bring back the telephone switchboard operators! Why do I have to “dial” my own number? Isn’t it just easier to just pick up the phone and tell the operator who to connect you to? And think of all the jobs we could bring back!
