On the other hand, many employers are scratching around for workers in lower paid jobs and we moan when announcements are made regarding problems due to staff shortages and illness. As for the comment "I love chatting with the staff, albeit briefly, especially as l live on my own. Talking with human staff is important to me. Now that experience has been taken away": one can sympathise but supermarkets are not part of social services.
I have just come back from Asda where there about 30 tills on the go. Had most of them (rather than few of them) been manned, it would represent a financial burden to the employer (which would affect prices, no doubt) and I doubt that they could man 30 tills with staff on a Tuesday morning even if they wanted to.
I visited a Tesco Extra last week and immediately noticed the self-service area had been massively expanded while tills with humanoids checking out had shrunk to six.
This is the type of 'progress' that'll see us eating grasshopper sandwiches served by robots.
I was there as a good neighbour purchasing two packets of panadol for 29p apiece which were price matched with Aldi.
Stated previously am befuddled with that joint being rammed when anyone can locate price comparisons online with Tesco, Aldi, Morrisons and Asda. Tesco is always shown as the most expensive.
Your neighbour suffers from severe headaches and you spent 58p thinking you were a help rather than logging out of Bitchute? Turn off the subterranean VPN in the bunker and ask about their mental health a couple of hours later. Could do wonders for the neighbourhood!
Driverless vehicles will see hundreds of thousands of Britons head for the Jobcentre. Train drivers and guards will join them. Elon Musk finds it difficult to think of anything a machine cannot do better than a human. Robots will build other robots better and faster too.
Briefly, we are fecked.
Stop right there ,: much of the world Is a victim to perpetual war, omnipresent government surveillance, historical negationism, and propaganda.
Human nature is controlled and to love is to fear the torture and threats from the Party.
Love is betrayal and human nature is to fight against this betrayal.
War is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; Ignorance is Strength.

I signed it last week. I doubt it will have any affect on Tesco, but it may embarrass them a bit - which is better than nothing.
Incidentally, I recall quite recently you were a fan of 2cellos. I thought you might be interested in the work of the late Victor Borge, an excellent pianist and great wit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NtMbQGn31c or watch below.
I agree. I am also accutely aware that society is losing a hold of the value and number of human interactions, in the name of 'ease', but 'ease' rarely makes us happier.
There is a middle ground to be achieved but I think some human interaction is very important. We've had this discussion elsewhere, but it's like with the use of cash v card etc, it's good to use both, and sometimes I'll nip through the self serve machines, but if I have more than a half dozen items I will normally use the checkout.
Well, you can do that too I guess, but people tend to go to the supermarket or shops significantly more often and for some it does fulfil more of a social role.
Supermarkets themselves recognise that, and things like the cafe's, kids rides, piped music etc rather point to it too.
I am genuinely confused about this post, and many other in this thread.
The issue is not about having more humans at check out tills so customers can have a natter. It's not about the value of human contact and resisting technology. The petition was about asking Tesco to backtrack a bit and have more staffed checkouts and fewer self service - with the direction of travel being all self-service. This was because Pat argued many older or disable people (customers in Tesco speak) cannot cope without human help and assistance. It was about shifting the balance back towards people. Although I'm sure a natter while trying to scan a digital club card would be welcome!
This issue is automation in a nutshell really. Most people are better off, a minority are negatively affected. We are not currently a population who stands up for themselves so eventually automation will have a negative affect on everybody except the very tiny minority at the top, who win.
