It's not no cost. It creates long wait times which can send customers elsewhere. I was a cashier in 2004 and I saw the introduction of the self checkout. The store ended up taking them back out this past year.
When you can pay a teenager 9 bucks an hour to do it much faster it's worth every penny.
These things work for walgreens but Costco and Aldes won't have them for a long while.
- kefka 10y agoIndeed, I get the sentiment. But in South-Central Indiana (Bloomington), we see Krogers with self-checkouts. How Krogers uses these, is that they only keep them open after 10p. And 1 clerk deals with 6 registers. Even if someone is being slow, the whole line moves faster. And you don't have a choice. Marsh has 1 24 hour store here. And they have 1 clerk (no self checkout) so it's on the range of 10-20 minute lines. If you want something from Krogers at night, it's self checkout or go away. Walmart has a weird strategy: self checkout is closed at night, and the center lane with the tobacco is always open no matter what. But I don't particularly like wally world. And they're further away than kroger.
