And yet, prices are still pandemic high with no signs of goung down....I won't use the self-check

[@Mallory-Malkovich]

Why not? Why is having some bored person making minimum wage who isn't allowed to sit down wave your purchases over a light so important to you? What do you get from that "service?"

[@joeburly]

@@Mallory-MalkovichI think the point is when is this cost savings passed to the consumer? Oh wait. Never. People out of work. No one benefits except the 1%

[@Mallory-Malkovich]

@@joeburly Has _any_ company _ever_ passed cost savings on to the consumer? Does that seem like a reasonable expectation to have in our society?

[@joeburly]

@@Mallory-Malkovichno. That’s the point. So why not use the checkout people to at least push back against the way the company has offloaded labor onto consumers? That’s what the original comment is saying.

@@joeburly How is having a bored teenager wave your groceries over a laser 'pushing back' against anything? What benefit are you getting from having another person handle your purchases for a few seconds before you take them away?

You will do what the business say to. We are all powerless.
