Actually, I wouldn't mind supermarket without cashiers. I'll be my own, thank you very much.

Self checkouts have no downsides.
The downside is forcing a bunch of people through self checkout who need a cashier. Whenever you all talk about how great self checkout is, I wonder what mecca you live in. My only experiences with it are long lines and long waits caused by a number of factors:
-Many self checkout lanes closed because they think everyone is stealing and refuse to staff more than one person to watch over you
-Old people who can't use technology and don't want to be using the machines
-People who have entire carts and struggle to effectively scan their groceries on the tiny space allocated.
-Machines that scan painfully and artificially slow because they want to weigh every goddamn item to prove you aren't stealing
-Machines that record you and yell at you for stealing if you move an item slightly awkwardly

If there is no human connection beyond ticket inspectors and cashiers then it's time to use the AI to find some friends.

So selfish, what about shareholder profit? We can really increase our margins by getting rid of Dougie and the crew. Get your "connection" on your own time, gramps
I only use self-checkout when it's an option no matter the business. I worked in a grocery store as a cashier for 11 years and all it did was make me hate people so I'm not gonna be part of the problem for somebody else.
This is why I support the Mechanicus, despite appearances you know there is a human brain in that machine somewhere.
