Heard a mom at the Safeway in Bellingham tell her kid the self-checkout was taking jobs

She said the machines were why the store only had two cashiers now. I get the worry, but our local store added two new stocker jobs when they put those lanes in last year. It just changed the work, not cut it all. Anyone else see new jobs pop up after self-checkout came in?

Wait, only two cashiers at a Safeway? That's wild, I mean ours has way more than that.

Our Safeway in Bellingham has been down to two lanes for months now. They just put in more self-checkout machines and call it good. I see people with full carts waiting in one long line while the self-checkout area is empty. It's not a huge deal, you just have to plan for a longer trip.
