Scan stations for use by shoppers are increasing. I was in a Walmart a couple days ago
that used to have one section for customer use scanners. Now they have installed
another section of customer use scanners on the opposite side of the store and
reduced the number of individual cashiers. They had three cashiers working with
lines waiting. The scan stations take only cash/cards but no checks.
Bet they didn’t reduce purchase prices on their items. Who’s pocketing the money saved from firing human cashiers?
