Not that people shouldn't be encouraged and helped to move beyond those kinds of entry level jobs but that kind of transition is still a decade or more away. Before that. B&M retail will need to finish rightsizing and stabilize at a profitable size. |
Walmart already has self checkout with the ability to do produce. No cashier necessary.
Is the shopper able to touch the produce and the computer screen? If yes, then a second person is not necessary.
Slightly off topic but here is an interesting thought. Here it is illegal to buy beer from midnight to noon on Sunday. I saw at least 5 people try to buy beer at the self checkout before noon. Note, the computer calls for a human as soon as beer and wine is scanned. Unless it is cooking wine.
