KEEPING PEOPLE EMPLOYED
SHARE!!!! if you know someone that is a cashier, if you have kids that will need an entry-level
job, and if you prefer a smile and a
brief discussion of the weather!
I got to overhear a conversation in the grocery store today
about the corporate office wanting to shut down all of the human cashier checkouts
so that customers would be forced to use the self-checkouts!
Being a very stubborn old lady and having luckily already
checkout I did not have to create a major scene. But I did turn around and walk back in and
asked them to kindly inform the corporate office that I refused to go through
job stealing machine checkouts.
People say that this will happen everywhere, including stores,
fast food, etc. That we have no choice in this, that once again another job
will be sucked up and spit out by a machine.
But we do! I will be
calling the grocery store before I go in and I will ask if they have humans
manning the checkouts. I will also ask for the name of the manager so that if
no one is there to ring up and bag my purchases then I will ask him to
personally do it and to inform corporate headquarters that humans need jobs.
By doing this you may save jobs for today and the future.
The money they make goes back into our local economy. The machines do not
contribute to our local economic welfare.
You want me to self-checkout... fine PAY ME TO DO IT!
Since corporations are now declared as being human... how
much longer before your self-checkout machine will also be able to cast a digital
vote in an election.
I feel a T-shirt design coming on!
