But this is literally how supermarkets provided cheaper prices than the local shops we all used to have. Customers swallow the external costs of last-mile transportation by driving to the business's warehouse. They swallow the costs of service staff by serving themselves. You're just describing their whole business model which, let's not forget, we as a nation gleefully latched onto when it became available, forcing local grocers to close.

Interesting. I avoid normal checkouts because self checkouts are so much more convenient and faster for me. I never use carts so maybe that's the difference

Same here, why would I do it myself when they have staff to do it for me? Should I cook my own steak at the restaurant as well?

Also, it would decrease staff and still won’t lower the prices so fuck em
