What *is* the deal with self-checkout? I mean, you go to the store, right? You pick out your items, you haul them to the register. And then… *I* scan them. *I* bag them. *I* pay them. So, what exactly is the store doing here? Providing the merchandise? Well, thank you very much for that. I’m doing half the job! Am I getting a discount? Am I getting paid a commission? No! I’m paying full price to do someone else’s job! It’s like going to a restaurant, cooking your own food, and then still leaving a tip. For what? For the privilege of *being* there?
