All it takes is proper management.

I like dealing with people better personally. Mainly because dealing with people can help save money. They can tell you about sales you may have missed. They can use coupons that just printed out. Or take expired ones, even though they shouldnt. If something is a little worn, they can even discount it for you some. Its little things like that that people do that automation usually wont...
