Reply #89: I was at Meijer one evening and got into the only checkout lane

open that had a real cashier. She told me she was closed after the person in line before me and that I should use the self checkout. I asked her if I could use a check at the machine and she said yes, but then she told me to stay there and she'd close after me. While she was scanning my stuff I told her that I hate the self checkouts because the more we use them, the less humans they need working. She sighed and said, "I know. They want to get rid of all of us. But I'm going home now so I'm not going to think about it anymore tonight." I asked if there would be someone to come and take her place at the register and she said no, after 8:00 pm only the self checkouts are open. Meijer is open 24 hours so that means they probably only have human cashiers for 12 of those hours.
