I wouldn’t necessarily be opposeded to an automated checkout. You push your cart up, a robotic arm unloads your cart, scans the items, bags it for you, places it in your cart, and you are on your way out the door.
I refuse however to perform work on behalf of a company that is not paying me. Would you want a self-serve concrete truck when it comes time to pour that sidewalk in your backyard? It’s more convenient right?
