Worse yet, self-checkout is wage theft when you think about it.

    it is not. having to work less is not fundamentally a bad thing. the problem is that the people will not get paid the same for working less, even if there is not as much work to be done

    That's one part of the problem. The other part is that I have yet to receive a paycheck for my work at the self checkout desk.

    How much were they paying you to wait twice as long for a cashier.

    I'd rather wait a minute to be served after a long day at work.

    Oh, and I often have to wait for the cashier at the self checkout anyway because an item didn't go through or I'm trying to buy alcohol or maybe scanned an item twice by accident. I'm not a paid professional, after all.

    That said, if you prefer doing the work for free, you do you.
