Not to mention the self checkouts, at least from my experience, need to be staffed as well. One person can maintain maybe 3-4, so it's not unusual to see half the self-checkouts closed.
- jon889 9y agoSelf checkouts can just appear to be closed for no reason because of things like it's rejecting coins, or keeps getting coins stuck, or the weighing scale isn't correct. Faults with over complicated machines rather than a personel problem
- Falling3 9y agoSure, problems with individual machines happen. But in my experience, it's almost always banks of machines that are closed due to staff limitations.
- xya3453 9y agoIt's quite common for a single staff member to manage 10–12 self checkouts in Australia. This will improve given time for the general population to warm to the SCO process combined with improvements in the machines themselves.
