...and it rapidly "disappeared". They went with a single staffed register (for ADA reasons), and all other lanes were converted to self-checkout, with a single "monitor" staff member to oversee a half-dozen automated lanes.
Customers were frustrated, and "shrinkage" rates went through the roof--merchandise was literally walking out the doors at record levels.
The solution?--they put a "monitor" at each self-checkout lane--essentially a cashier at every lane, but they didn't ring or bag your merchandise for you. They were paid just to watch you and/or assist you if something didn't scan properly.
That's when customers got really pissed. These employees are being paid to stand there like watchdogs while you (the customer) were doing 90% of what used to be their job.
The concept didn't last long...
