Retail employees do more than checkout. You’ll still need them to stock, do customer support, clean, and more.

- manquer 3y agoI obviously didn’t mean all employees ,only the employees who are doing the check out . I am not saying RFID will eliminate employees in retail , just that there is cost to not having RFID too, we should only see the diff as the cost of the tech not absolute numbers
- clintonb 3y agoI understand, and what I am saying is that it is rare to have retail employees that _only_ do checkout. Nearly everyone performs multiple roles. Eliminating checkout will reduce the overall workload, but won't necessarily reduce headcount, or enough headcount to offset the cost of RFID tags.
- Dylan16807 3y ago> it is rare to have retail employees that _only_ do checkout Why is that relevant? If 5 employees spend 20% of their combined time on checkout, and you get rid of checkout, you can go down to 4 employees, can't you? Why does the exact distribution matter? You'll still have a healthy variety of tasks to spread among those employees.
