Two days ago on a local grocery store they'd changed one of three cash register with an automatic kind, there wasn't any in that chain.
As a thunderstorm yet broke something, the nearby cashier had to go and press a button every time a new buyer uses the machine.. The automatic cashier was put in so the employed doesn't has to call a colleague when in need.
She told me them
doubled her pay for the mess (in a satire way); I had to reply that if as customer we pay the same price, and that's not just for the holidays (so to let the coworkers have it), it wouldn't be bad if the machine posts pics of her colleagues in vacations, on the beach taking the sun - LOL.
The top here was reached during the covid, when alongside the measures for containment, grocery stores started to add app to get discounts (after pricing having raised),
an plus a lottery so while keeping the recepit some would had been drawn and won a large sum as a million or alike.
Meanwhile if there was 5 persons waiting the pay maintenance, if whitout apps that process would endure 12 minuts, the one minute of showing phone, showing app, taking barcodes, and so on... it would had raised the overall estimate time one would had stand close to others.
