In reality you just end up with one cashier overseeing 5 registers so they can scan their badge every time the machine fucks up or needs your ID checked.
I was in a supermarket recently where there was just one cashier who had a long line.
The only alternative – the self checkouts, which also had a long lines. And we all stood there watching as each customer struggled with scanning errors, bagging errors, etc.
I’ve rarely seen a cashier idling on an empty register though, there’s always something to do in a supermarket and staff normally default to refilling shelves and whatnot unless there’s a customer-queue.

As an ex-cashier: use the self service machines, use a cashier, just don’t try to discuss your politics on the matter with the cashier. Soooo many, “YoU’rE weLcOme fOr SaViNg YoUr jOb,” or, “I doN’T wOrK hErE.” Just shut up and take your bags lol
They missed a couple of panels, where something goes wrong and the cashier has to walk over, scan their ID and hit a few keys so you can continue to check yourself out.
Every. Single. Time.
Lol I see nothing wrong here
Totally depends on the shit I’m buying. If it’s fruits and vegetables, I’m damn sure using a cashier and not scrolling through all of those screens.
I wonder how long till we no longer have cashiers and baggers? I’m guessing 10 years till they no longer exist and we have to do their job.
Edit: this is not a complaint that I have to do their job. It’s worry over my friends jobs who work at grocery stores

The lines just got longer.
I don’t like where retail is headed.
Both of them: Thank god I didn’t have to interact with another person.
I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make here…
But, it does make me think. If raising wages for these workers increases our prices, why doesn’t self checkout lower prices?
You can feel the sexual tension in this comic

What a great customer. Got in, got his goods, and left without a word or problem. Best kind of customer.
As a cashier, I’m ok with this.
This is not reality.
What really happens is the cashier checkout lane is empty and the customer only has self checkout options available.
What’s the joke here? What am I missing.
