I don't use self checkout because it doesn't help a cashier get a paycheck.

.... that's not at all how paychecks are calculated. Up here in Canada we have what's known as Minimum Wage. Where I live its 14.50/h. I am assuming that in most states the same thing is applied. The price of groceries don't affect the salary of the workers. God I wish it would, because in some stores I worked at we were making bank.

Groceries go up in price when gas goes up in price, which affects the cost of transportation. The problem is that they don't go down in price when gas drops down in price, which is a bigger issue that needs to be addressed by government. I'm personally a fan of breakpoints which basically boils down to "if gas costs 1 dollar then groceries cost 1 dollar. If gas goes up, groceries go up. But if gas drops back down to 1 dollar then the price of groceries goes back down to 1 dollar. If that makes any sense.
