Topic	Controversial Opinion #4: Automation
LinkPizza 04/03/21 12:02:24 PM #30:	Mead posted... Those actually did reduce jobs. Along with grocery scanners stores ended up need a lot fewer cashiers when they could complete transactions faster. Doesn't seem like it. When I use to work retail at somewhere like Target, all the cashier spots were filled. Same with places like Wal-Mart, where the whole front was just cashiers. And they had belts. Those stores are just so crowded that they still needed all the cashiers. Even the grocery store around the corner full of cashiers during certain times of the day (they don't even have conveyors. The only time those stores seemed to lose cashiers was when self-checkout came... Conveyor made things faster, but they still needed cashier to keep up with the large amount of people... IronBornCorps posted... Automation doesn't reduce jobs. Greedy company owners who realize their automation means they don't have to pay as much for pay roll do. True. But that still means automation plays a part. They couldn't use it if it didn't exist... So, I still don't like automation... --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you.
