Applebees and Chili's replacing waiters with Tablet PCs

Few self check-out machines are cute teenagers.

Few cashiers are either these days.

In Sweden simple jobs are still for young people, and being Swedes they are not katmaiesque.

[Admiral Yi]

At my regular grocery store about 50% of the cashiers are bait.

Beat me to it.

If you would like more self checkout machines, have the state mandate that cashiers have to be paid a living wage.

I want the state to mandate the checkout machines have to be paid a living wage.

I am sure that they are regularly serviced.

I'll volunteer to ensure that cute, of age female cashiers are regularly serviced.

Yes, because stating the fact that I personally enjoy self check out machines means I do not support a living wage.

Well it seems like it'd be hard to have a wage if you don't get hired as a machine has removed the need for your position.

The grocery store I go to has the same number of ordinary cashiers as they had before self-checkout and scan-as-you-go, so the assumption you are making seems to be of limited truth if true at all.

What I don't see as much is people from the rest of the store getting called up as emergency cashiers because the lines are more than three deep (all their full-time employees are trained to run a register and they are added in some kind of order to the register bank when there are four people in any line).  They still seem to have the same number of people in each department, too.

Oh well I certainly have not seen that when I go to CVS (where self checkout is king). They now generally have only one actual cashier.

[Eddie Teach]

CVS? The drug store? Only been one counter/line there as far back as I remember.

Almost all of them always only have one cashier and one manager on duty.

I don't recall that. In fact, until recently, there was one near me that had no self checkout and 3 cashier spots. It has since closed...and was actually the worst as the cashiers were so so so slow.

Local shop Duane Reade, without self checkout usually has up to 6 cashiers (though typically about 3 on the registers at any time).
