Don't we already have this? I was at Home Depot the other day and they had one cashier open and four "automatic" booths where you scan everything in yourself. Instead of having three or four cashiers on duty, they have one. Target has this too - my local Target has eight - and Wal Mart does too.
This will be the new trend in everything. Generally speaking I don't shop in stores any more; I shop online. Usually at Amazon, sometimes Ebay. Amazon has everthing - One time I needed to replace the handle on my ten year old dryer and when I searched for the part number it was on Amazon.
We've been here before. They said the same thing about computers... They told us the work place will be cut by 80% because computers will cause productivity to rise. Well, that happened. But now we need IT people to run the computers, people to build the computers, people to build the software, people to sell it all to us.
