they lose a lot of customer base by doing this though. Like I personally won't enter a building that doesn't have self check, just too annoying to have to deal with a person, this is as someone who worked for 8 years as a cashier/retail at big box stores.
I get that it "saves jobs" not having self check but, honestly that's not a job I would want again in the first place.

Being on the other end of that, not that this makes it any better, but a lot of facilities are moving over to a more assisted intelligence model for the self check out process so there may be a security person involved but the machine will flag the central system which will have the security guy look at it whenever they're in
It's creepy how far Tech goes
Update: I just realized that apparently it didn't update the link from the last one I looked so your article basically said the same thing lmao
