Just wait till they double the minimum wage...
Although I think big businesses are seeing the writing on the wall.
The nearest "big" town to me just put in a self checkout ONLY WalMart.

They dont have self checkout only walmarts they did however decide to revamp their registers. Now you can get a host or hostess to help you shop. They will check you out on a register if you so choose its up to you.

I don’t do Walmart. Ours was already practically self service. Maybe two real cashiers open.
The self checkout lanes never work, always had issues.

And yet they have one now in Missoula, Montana.
They re-opened last month after the renovations and I was curious and went there.
Or was it just my lying eyes?
If a customer wants to be checked out by an associate, a host rings them up and bags all of their items just like they would have in the old lane-driven layout.

It's like the proponents don't understand the inflation it will cause. Then again maybe they do, eh?

Self checkout leads to theft and D&D ( damaged and destroyed) Costco implemented it for “ease of service” but we lose millions in sales and people lose jobs.......
I personally hate it

I dunno about down there in America, but i've noticed in the last month or so, meat prices have jumped at least $1-2/lb for chicken and pork and like $4/pound for beef. Milk prices are like $7/4L(gallon) up from about $4.50-$5 pre covid, vegetables have gone up. A bag of organic onions went from $3-$7 for a 3lb bag non organic went from $2-$4. Eggs have jumped from $3-$5 for a dozen. Whole black pepper's at like $8 for 500g. Bread's up like a buck, green veggies up a dollar or more. I haven't even looked at fish for a while because it's not even...hell even a pound of bacon's up at almost $10 now, was $5 or less not long ago...
I think this is the biggest increase in food prices I.ve seen in such a short time since like 2010 or so when a big tube of ground beef jumped from $5 for real ground beef to $8 for 'extra lean pink slime special' ground beef.
Understood.

To be fair, I am talking Canadian money, it's kinda like american money but only worth like 3/4's as much. Still it's the increases I speak of. The increase this year in prices is about the same as the last ten years in price increase. Prices have been going up steadily over the last few years at maybe 10¢-20¢ per year, at least from my observations buying food regularly every week and such. The increase this time though seems pretty drastic, almost the same as the last ten years put together.
