It's impossible to prove or falsify of course but lower cost to them from having to pay fewer cashiers in theory shows up for the customers in lower prices. The other benefit is self checkout usually crams more lanes into a smaller area so you can checkout more quickly than waiting for the 2 lanes at best I'd often see staffed outside of peak seasons before self checkout.
- immibis 9mo agoThere has never been any instance of a company passing on cost savings to its customers unless forced by market competition.
- bluGill 9mo agoSince WalMart and dollar stores compete in the same space to some extent they have competition. And most things you buy at target can be bought from smaller specialty stores that while not direct competition between them all you have same same variety of things available. (and different prices and quality levels so you can make your own trade offs)
- rtkwe 9mo agoSo do big box retailers and grocery stores not have any competition then? I don't want to be snarky but it's not exactly a mono or even duopoly space in most towns for grocery stores and big box retailers are more often single choices in medium and smaller towns but above that you've often got a choice of big box retailers to go to too.
