        I spoke with someone who works at one of those stores six months ago & he said they cut 'everyones' hours for self check-out lanes. Greed is a disease and humanity is the target. That's the real news.

        I worked for target over 10 years and can tell you this will only be used to reduce the number of employees. Take a look at how long the lines are at the checkout. Less employees doing more work for the same or less pay.

        What retailers don't realize r the maintenance costs associated w/ technology & the backlog of help desk requests that await each store. 100s of programmers @100k/yr + benefits is a lot more expensive than simply keeping human cashiers at a fraction of that cost. Tech ≠ Savings

        No. That's not the reason. Will hire fewer people, for fewer hours, for fewer benefits. And the ones left will do twice as much work. Ask us retail workers.

        I refuse to use self-checkout anywhere, every time. Good luck with that. And by the way, freeing up staff "to help shoppers" is a crock. Big boxes just want to maximize profits so their CEOs can get even more obscenely richpic.twitter.com/NmplCQho6Y

        “Free employees to help customers” translates pretty closely to “Automate more jobs, and employ less people”... but please, continue telling us why we need shopping assistants at Walmart/Target...

        Eventually automation will eliminate nearly all jobs. Rather than fight automation it would make more sense to tax these billion dollar corporations (who often pay $0 in taxes) to pay for a universal income. That way we grow technology but dont suffer for it before the end.

        Or begin public funded job training to help the unemployed & robot-ousted workers learn skills which are still high in demand (and hopefully higher wages than walmart provides.) We also could as a society, simply take over Walmart by declaring it to be a monopoly & public utility

        I am just saying there is much we could do rather than resist automation (an inevitable future & major incoming problem). Then again, I'm a bigtime socialist and one of those commie bastards.
