Self-checkout rant. Agree or disagree?

90. I don't agree with your analysis

of these statements:

My biggest problem with this meme is that it says, "you can put your cashiers back in place" while also "You expect me to be a cashier with no training." That shows that the maker of this meme has no respect for what a cashier has to go through and that they see cashiers as unskilled.

"You expect me to be a cashier with no training" translates to "The people who the store hires to be cashiers are trained. With self check out the store is expecting me, the customer, to be a cashier without receiving any of that training." It is actually acknowledging the training that cashier's receive rather than labeling them unskilled.

The statement overall says "put the skilled workers who used to have good paying jobs back to doing those jobs instead of expecting unskilled customers to do the job for them."

Also - replacing cashiers with self-checkout was not to give customers lower prices, it was to give share holders more returns.
