Eh I don't know. I love the convenience when I only have a few items. And sometimes jobs need to be lost for efficiency's sake. Also keep in mind, while we "lose" the cashier's jobs we also gain jobs too. Those machines, their software, etc. don't come out of thin air. I'd wager more jobs go into making them than the jobs we lose. Also, I noticed they hire someone specifically to watch the self-checkouts and help people input coupons and such.
The only thing I don't get is why people aren't using them to shoplift more. I've never had my bags checked, and I easily could have stolen half my items or "forget" to scan an expensive one.
