indeed; anyway i am on board with your point that self checkout is an externality generation move
Well, price performance. It’s better for the lower price point. In Seattle, a high-end grocery store rolled back self-checkout to keep the jobs. But stuff costs more there. Actually better = Amazon go store. Walk in, pick up shit, walk out. Cameras and AI do the rest.

i'm sure they can claim they are "passing the savings onto the customer" which is an empirical question that appears to be answered largely in the negative. an argument can be made that amazon go is the "correct" solution to self-checkout, which of course has its own side effects

Umm prices for almost everything have crashed in the west in the last few decades except for rent, healthcare and education. It’s not an idle claim or an altruistic one. Pure result of competition
