the customer is somehow more convenient for the customer, I'll never

ring up the items and bag it. I guarantee any payroll savings goes
directly in the pockets of the owner, instead of reducing the price that
I pay for the food. Now if you want to compensate me a couple percent
off my total by doing the work myself, I might be more inclined to use
them.

Super markets don't sell food, they sell pre-packaged things that
they say is food. They would only have 3 isles - meat, vegetables
and dry goods, and a small cooler for OJ.
