I go to the cashier's and try to never self checkout. It has always seemed like a way to reduce the number of employees. The price of goods sure hasn't gone down as a result. People need jobs. These stores are rich enough. I realize that's a little naive but that's where I am with it.

The human checkout gives a better service but the shop does not charge me differently for different checkouts. For shoppers, the equation is simple.

People need good jobs. I doubt there are tons of people whose dream job is to be a cashier.

I'd always rather shop at a store with real life helpful employees who are happy to work there because they are treated well and properly compensated. I hope companies continue to see the value in that approach.
