What's with people who stand in line with a single item when they could have just used self checkout? I don't understand those people

that would be me. not being rude so i will explain why. the self checkout killed a job and if you notice you have 4 self checkouts so that is four people the company did not want to pay wages too. its kinda sad when a company will kill jobs just to make more money and not give health care or a decent wage . and the big boys get a bonus for saving money on the little cuts here and there that they do even if it hurts the lower paid staff . so for me its a protest kinda think. hope that helps you understand why. now others might not do it for that reason. you could just ask when you are standing and waiting. do ask kindly and they might tell you with out getting mad. good luck. mark
