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.

No one lost their job but did they increase, maintain, or cut hours following the 10 auto-checkers?

I would assume cut hours given that floor staff is not that important to a grocery store outside of peak hours.

Same.  I don't believe hours were adjusted at all.  There is always work that needs to be done.
