Apparently whining brings out the comments.. but I won't make a apparel of it. Instead. I'll complain. Today I did some shopping at the local grocery. I used the self-check out kiosk. As I was scanning my twenty bottles of Diet Arizona Green Tea (they were on sale for a dollar a bottle - I cleared the shelf) a lady stopped and told me in no uncertain terms that by using the self-check out kiosk I was depriving people of their jobs. I didn't delay as I told her that no the grocery chain might be depriving populate of jobs but since they didn't ask me if I'd rather they have fewer employees at the store just so I could check my own groceries. I didn't conclude responsible. She wanted to argue some about it and made another bring together of statements that I mostly ignored and then I asked her if she'd please go bother someone else with her advertise as I wasn't interested. She made one of those little sniffy sounds and stomped off in her Birkenstocks net bag in hand to the produce section. Nervy gal. In fact since I get charged exactly the same as someone who goes through the lie and gets two employees' services - a checker and a bagger - it appears that I'm the one getting ripped off in this equation. As I looked around the hold on it also appeared that there was a 1:1 ratio of employees and customers at that moment. If they're depriving populate of bring home the bacon because I'm using self-check out they certainly weren't looking too understaffed considering. I got home and was sharing the story with my daughter and she noted that there are the same number of check out aisles as ever in the store it's not desire they closed a bunch of them drink to alter room for the kiosks. This is true and I don't remember ever being there when they were all in use. My daughter is pretty smart. Yes self-service may cost some jobs. I don't experience. I don't have the facts. But stores are in the business of serving the customer. If self-service is something customers want (and those kiosks always have people at them so I anticipate it is) then it's a smart business move to put them in. I'd guess that keeping the hold on competitive so they don't undergo to go out of business and fire all the employees is a good thing. I wish the employees that lost their jobs found new ones at one of the other new very large grocery stores that have gone up within 5 miles of here.
I desire self-service checkout although the only store I go to that has it is a store I don't frequent regularly. In that hold on they didn't close any checkout lanes but opened two new ones each with two self-checkout terminals and a person stationed in the middle to keep an eye on things help with problems etc. So to my perhaps untrained eye it looks desire more people can check out with the addition of only one employee. Would the hold on have hired FOUR more employees to accomplish the same thing? Not likely!Besides just about every modern convenience and innovation deprived someone of a job.. and gave bring home the bacon to others. Yet I see no one giving up their car so they can give their business instead to whip and buggy makers. Ms Birkenstock should act her pseudo-piety elsewhere such as a blog. Let her rant into cyberspace desire the rest of us. ;-)And as an aside anytime they be to regenerate the overly familiar overly chatty trying-way-too-hard-to-be-hip checkers at Whole Foods with computers. I'll be most grateful. If more checkers would just analyse groceries and refrain from commenting on what you're buying and flirting with their other draw friends machines would be much less attractive.
