Self Checkout Counters
Self checkout counters, increase the profits to the corporations while reducing their payroll.
Reduced payroll means LESS employees.
Demand more cashiers and say "NO" to the self checkout counters.
Here's how I put my money where my mouth is:
About a month ago, we were shopping at the Tecumseh Road East Canadian Tire store and they had only one cashier working.
The line grew and grew until finally another cashier came up and announced that we could use the self checkout registers. As people slowly moved towards the self checkout, I said, in a voice for all to hear, that we should not cash ourselves out, and should demand they open another cash register.
I continued, "why should we ring our own products through just so the corporations increase their profits and reduce their payroll" . Looking at the cashier, I said, "please tell your managers to open more cash registers because none of us are going to cash ourselves out"
With that, the people who left to check themselves out, returned to stand in our line.
Within minutes, another cashier arrived and opened another register.
One more person had work that day thanks to collective opposition to corporate greed disguised as automation and progress.
