I also don't want to see people losing jobs, and I'm sure that the higher-ups would love to save money by firing the employees while not passing the savings along to the customers. I think it's a bad deal.
You make some very good points, valkyrie. My mom feels the exact same way. She'd rather stand in a 20 minute line in a traditional cashier aisle with one apple than use the self-checkout lanes!
