This is the Target in Hixon, TN everytime i go there. I've stood in a 20 frustrated person long self-checkout line with at least a dozen regular checkouts collecting dust and not a soul with a red vest in sight. One poor lady helping 5 or so self cheout kiosks. The Starbucks at the entrance has more people behind the counter. And they still wonder why they're failing spectacularly.
When you see this, you should be thinking "look what they fucking took from us."
Once upon a time, those lanes all ran. The CEO's megayacht is the reason you have to stand in line or check out yourself.
How’d you get a picture of my local grocery store?
For real though, one of those cashiers would be on the self checkout helping 50 people at once and the cashier who has to actually scan stuff has 5 people in their line but all of them have enough food and goods for an army.
The reason to have several more checkouts is for holiday rushes. Under normal day to day operations they don't use them all.
My old bank branch had thirteen teller stations and two tellers since at least 2018.
Just in case you're wondering, they actually do man all those checkouts during superbowl weekend
One line has 8 people waiting with a bunch of groceries each but the line is moving steadily
The other line has only two people .... a little old lady at the cashier is holding up the line because she wants to process three out of date coupons, a return item with a label that said it was past its best before date, and a loaf of bread that 'doesn't look right'.
