I was in line with a buddy and we were both at odds over whether we wanted to use the self checkout or not. On the one hand the more they are used, the more some bean counter at corporate will use to justify layoffs down the road and cut down on human staff. On the other hand the poor people scanning and bagging look exhausted and might be happy that customers are using them and cutting down on the workload. I am interested to hear the arguments from the antiwork perspective.
