Dunno.Lots of people protested during the Industrial Revolution. Their fear was that machines were replacing humans.
Wonder how that ended?
Aye, just checked.Sounds like lidl that.
Can you pay with cash at these un-manned tills?Move with the times. Automation is the future.
I find them a pain I'm the arse, as they never scan properly then if you get audited at the till is another pain. I don't think they're any faster but more stressful.

Totally agree. Personally never use the self scan thing. It's just a way of using less staff and saving money for the massive companies who make huge profits year on year.
Really? Don’t think I’ve ever been in and seen more than two lanes open.Putting people out of work.

Good, keep all the dithering old farts in one lineThey tend to have cashless at one side & all payments at other
OuchGood, keep all the dithering old farts in one line
And therefore more people out of work.Also a way of serving more people quicker, as can fit more tills in same space. Therefore a better service.

Same with the one near me. I asked one of the staff where they self-serve checkouts had gone and they mumbled shoplifters. Apparently as there were no staff present, people just wandered off without paying.Not sure if Aldi or Lidl, but the big new one in Peterlee had the self checkout, but no staff working on them. So when something needed staff to check/fix, you had to wait for an eternity for them to finish with the customer on the main till, and leave and walk over to you.
It was a disaster.
They took them out rather than fix the problem!
Should we get rid of every modern convenience that eliminates a job? I assume you draw the line somewhere.
If you and others stopped driving to work, you’d create jobs for bus drivers.
I get the train to work ironically considering I drove trains. These self serve things are just a way for big companies to cut down on workforce and wages and denying people a wage.

Go back to switchboard operators for every time you wanted to make a call. Stop sending emails to keep typists and couriers in a job. Even get rid of tractors so farms had to employ hundreds of people to plant and pick crops.
Automation doesn't reduce employment. It just reduces the number which are required for low skill tedious work and frees them to do something more productive and interesting with their lives.
