Are there really stores with zero cashiers? I've definitely been in a Kroger before where the cashiers angrily directed me to the self-checkout because they were busy with other tasks place upon them like restocking the impulse items at the checkout, but I don't believe I've been to a store with absolutely no ability to have a cashier ring up the order. In the case of Wal-Mart, I've come to prefer self-checkout because there are several items I purchase frequently that the cashiers have trouble ringing up but I find quickly on the self-checkout (for those curious, these are Primo water refills and Anaheim peppers).

- SOLAR_FIELDS 3y agoAt the Walmarts I go to there is usually only one person manning a checkout line, and it’s the same line you go though to buy tobacco. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a store with all registers completely unmanned, but only one person working a register is pretty common.
- balderdash 3y agoMaybe not zero, but I’ve definitely noticed grocery stores pushing customers to self checkout. For example, having two of the 10 regular checkout lines open is pretty much the same as having none open.
