Well maybe they should make cashiers get 4.0 degrees too, that way they will be more effrctive than self checkouts

Most cashiers are already more effective than self-checkouts. From a customer perspective, self-checkouts are desirable because you can fit more register into less square footage, meaning lines can move faster. They also create the sense of moving faster than having a cashier because the customer is actively participating in the process, rather than standing around waiting for stuff to be scanned/bagged. From a corporate perspective, self-checkouts are preferable not because they're more effective than cashiers, but because they cost less thanks to not needing to do silly things like eat or pay rent.

Furthermore, unless universities start offering degrees in register operation, you're going to be hard-pressed to explain how a 4.0 GPA would help somebody be a more effective cashier. That's just silly. You're silly.
