Self Check Outs
I remember the first time I saw a self check out at KMart. I thought it was the neatest thing at the time. Well over the years I have come to dislike these machines for many reasons. The main reason is that they take jobs away. At Giant Eagle there are five self check out lanes. That is five people that are not getting a job because they are not needed. How are people to get jobs when technology is taking over. I also don't like them because a majority of the time I use them, they won't scan or the scale to weigh is not working. Im a big fan of technology, but not when it takes jobs away or when it doesn't work right most of the time.

i agree these machines are taking good jobs from teenagers who need money for school. The first time i used them i thought it was cool but now its just a hassle. You think its faster than going to a real person but they take longer. Most of the time something happens and you have to get someone to help you. You could have just went to the real cashier and been on your way with no hassle or wasted time.
I agree, every time I go to use one of these machines something goes wrong. And they do take away from people getting jobs. Even if I only have one item to check out, I'm fine with stading in line for a few minutes.
