My husband and I went shopping to this big box store in the city where we live. We usually have to queue and have a cashier to scan the groceries we had on our cart. I notice not too many cashiers in that supermarket so there was a long line and we waited and waited for our turn. The manager of the store didn't open any cashier's counter no matter what. Its either they are being stingy or thrifty to pay for another cashier. You know extra employee means extra payroll and benefits. Besides that store is probably busy only on "that particular day." Also what i noticed is there is a place where you can get through the hallway lobby with automated machines or machines you can scan the items you want to buy to find out the price of each items, and you can pay them too by scanning your debit card. My husband and I tried that "scanner" pushing the many buttons. It's like the debit card machines you usually found in the bank when you want to withdraw or deposit without the help of a "human cashier behind the counter." The easy access to pay for your groceries is really easy if you know how to push the buttons and if you can read and follow directions. Most of all if you have good eyesight. Those with poor vision should not use them. People with parkinsons should not use them or you might push extra cash back to the machines giving you a rip-off. Or don't get the bag of goodies out from the metal weighing scale. Or you'll start again in pushing the many buttons then scan your debit card again. Its always like that. Again and again. Practice makes perfect in dealing with machines. Although there are six automated scanning machines, there is one clerk monitoring the "system." You think the machines are just a robotic genius that answers to all the needs?
CPU and magnetic cores. I have so many "magnets" inside my body and I know where other magnets are located and my eyes suddenly look at them and got fixated. I don't know why.
Now what will happen to the many employees in a big box store? Probably some of them are in retrenchment, either laid off or some few workers have to work double shift. Or few workers in a big store but with security surveilance and some security guards. With machines you don't need to give them benefits and they don't complain. That maybe is the soultion for some big box stores leaving too many people unemployed. But who suffered in this kind of trend? Is it trendy or futuristic? What will happen to the population without work if the machines will take over?
That is the work of the government and the private sectors to solve. The many capitalist who would love to have more profit for their business. Why not right? Revenues are of equal importance it serves society as a whole. Economy is the highest priority of the government while the businessmen who are in private industry of their own their policies and standard are different and you may not like it as a consumer.
Profiteering and propheteering varies differently so where you want to go from here?
