Cashiers are being replaced by machines luckily.
I am literally a cashier (not full time though, luckily), there's other work to do in a supermarket. Don't pretend to be working class by trying to keep a job that you would never do and that's literally shit. Time doesn't go by when your sitting there.
If you mean self-checkout, they're not being replaced by machines they're being replaced by you. It's just more shadow work you are expected to do for free.
As a socially anxious person, I absolutely love self checkout. Unless I have like a zillion items, then I use regular checkout.
Same for me. When I need to, I like to go for regular checkout lanes without a bagger so I can move to the end and offer to bag my own things. It gives me something to do rather than just stand there awkwardly.
There's one cashier at my local grocery store who will often add a 10% discount as a thank you. Which is actually a crazy wage for the couple minutes of work.
I also play a game at Trader Joe's where usually I'm mostly stocking my freezer so it's a lot of boxes. I make my cart the neatest damn cart I can and I win my game if the cashier comments on it.
