Someone's stirring up the Bees Nest about "you" doing the work at Self-checkouts

Not eliminating jobs...

Someone has to stock the shelves
Clean the store
Maintain the computer system
Program the computer system
Build the computers
Generate the electricity
Transport the electricity
Maintain the lines.

Need I go on.


There is once again record unemployment in the US.

There are industry's that can not hire enough people.

So ya! I guess I'm fine with eliminating jobs.

Of the jobs that you listed only 2 of them are retail related. Companies put in self check outs in order to reduce their labor costs. Steak n Shake doesn't have waitresses, you place your order on a computer and they call your number when your order is ready, you get your own drinks, all done to cut costs. Lowe's went to all but one check out and every time I go in there I have a hard time finding anyone on the floor. True, there are some industries having trouble filling jobs.
