That is exactly what I wonder as well. I recall when my teenage kids could not find a summer job for minimum wage. Aldi grocery store can’t find shelf stockers and register checkers for $16/hour to START. The store just converte 75% checkout registers to self checkout.

Darn it. Another thing for me to hate about life.

I had trouble at Kroger finding a human cashier lane and saw they re-booted the dormant U-Scan ones on the second end.

So it's on purpose, the rotten SOBs. Stores can save a fortune on human workers, get the free slave labor from us dunces and pocket the profit increases.

But my bad back will act up on big full carts of self-scan. Too bad for me.
