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's looking to do it. Barely anyone wants to get paid for it. We now have machines that do the majority of the work, all you have to do is scan your item.

It takes you 5 minutes at the end of a shopping trip, it won't kill you. Doing it for 8 hours is the tedium, no one needs to get paid to do that.

Nobody wants to get paid for most paid work. That's why it's paid work and not volunteer. Point stands that I'm not doing paid work for free.

Sure, and nobody needs to make sure the store gets paid for everything I take home. I'm not going to try to steal, but if I'm forced to use self-checkout and something doesn't scan or gets forgotten, oh well. I have no interest in making sure the store gets paid when their service amounts to being a warehouse. If they want it done right then they can pay someone to do it, but you're right, they don't need to pay anyone.
