There certainly are cameras, sensors, and software expenses; it's just some of that burden is paid by the customers.
- Sohcahtoa82 7y agoI'm not sure that's true. Traditionally, customers are paying for the wages of the cashier. Cameras, sensors, and software are likely 1-time purchases. There may be cloud storage costs if your cameras are storing videos off-prem, and maybe the software is a monthly license fee, but I'd wager those costs are cheaper than a cashier.
- lotsofpulp 7y agoI would not call using an item which one already owns with zero marginal cost to be an expense for the customer.
