I always see self-checkout as outsourcing the cashier's job to a slow untrained amateur (the client) whilst doing away with paying for that work.
You need to be a sucker to do work for the profiting of others without get anything at all in return for it (at best, what you get is less slow checkout that the manned tills which they purposefully made worse than before in order to push you into self-checkout, which is not in fact better than what you had before).
Even in the most purely amoral "greed is good" judgement, it doesn't make sense to do the work without at least getting a discount.
LOL! "Untrained amateur", like you need to complete a professional course to click a few buttons and scan a few articles. Unbelievable.
You obviously never been to a German grocery store. Those cashiers are intimidating!
Funny enough I just wrote a post about my experience with Lidl in Berlin when I lived there.
The previous poster has no clue at all about how that whole thing can be an extremelly efficient process with proper cashiers and cooperating customers that would actually become way slower if you used self-checkout instead.
(I actually have some minor expertise in evaluating Business Processes from my job and like to evaluate the efficiency of all kinds of work processes I'm looking at, and efficiency as a cashier has a lot more depth than button pressing and article scanning - for example, merelly memorizing the position of the barcodes in articles can easilly make a cashier go 2x faster or more).
Then again this being Germany and Lidl the cashiers are actually normal store employees that will do whatever needs doing, on proper employment contracts and paid significatly more than cashiers in most countries get, as Lidl is known for investing in its employees - and expecting them to be much more flexible in the tasks they'll do - rather than deal with them as easilly replaceable "human resources".
