Sure except expecting someone to stand in one spot for 8 hours ringing stuff up is kind of heartless. Surely there are more edifying ways for a human being to spend their time
stand in one spot for 8 hours ringing stuff up is kind of heartless.
It is heartless because there is no need for the standing.
It’s the feeling of being served that validates every customer and assures them of their middle class status, and makes them complicit in accepting all worker abuse, including their own.
That’s the same as any work cell job. Stamping press: load heavy part, hit your two buttons, take part out and stack it, repeat 8 hours.

That would be true if by utilizing the staffing cuts, they increased wages or lowered costs but instead they just pocket the profits.
