    Theft high? Lots of technical issues? I’m shocked.

    As a solution that was never meant to help anything but the retailers’ bottom lines, I’m not mad at all. I remember plenty of people thought they’ll see some of those savings on the store shelves when self-checkouts were introduced. 🤭 Then again plenty of people thought Uber would bring a new era of cheap car rides too.

      There is a new poster on the till at my local superstore. It breaks down cost of shopping and show profit as only 3% of the total bill.

      They earned 2 billion in profit, so that is still far too much, especially when they are taking it from the pocketbooks of those who can least afford it.
