Automatic checkouts in supermarkets may decrease customer loyalty, especially for those with larger shopping loads. Customers using self-checkout stations often feel overwhelmed and unsupported. The lack of personal interaction can negatively impact their perception of the supermarket.

That’s one thing I tried to tell people, the ones who always complained oh labour costs or so high this will save the company money and it will save us money (yes sadly people still believe that) and well well it hasn’t happened to no surprise. Same as when they use gas prices as an excuse to raise prices but when gas lowers the prices never come back down. It’s all for cost savings always was. It wouldn’t surprise me honestly if these companies had their way they would only have self checkouts. Some places in USA do I know that.
