To the naysayers: It's ideal for jobs that nobody really aspires to do anyway to be phased out so the resources being spent on them can be put to some greater use. This can include employing people who today bag groceries to do something they are passionate about instead. For example, if the people in a town no longer have to pay a guy who likes to play music on the weekends to spend his weekdays bagging their groceries, then they can now afford to pay him to play music all week long.
@asdfqwerty2000 You clearly don't understand business. Taking this away as a job still reduces the number of jobs, no matter how mind numbing the job may be (btw they're great jobs for kids). Secondly if a business can save money by doing this, they're most likely not going to try and create a new position so they can hire those people again.
If folks do actual research they will find that the tunnel will do several things. First, remove traditional self check out (which takes 1 person to 'watch' it). The tunnel adds people from the bagging side. More if you help unload. It's about service. Now, since it scans everything there is reduced theft, misscans, etc. In the grocery business it is called shrink and it is HUGE. That loss gets passed onto customers. Reduce shrink, reduce cost of product sold. They get 'we care about PRICE.'
@colonels115 How does it take jobs? In fact the counter to that illogical thought goes as such.. The men and women whom service the robots, manufacture the parts, deliver, and associates that man them all have jobs. Correct? Might I also add if company's do not have innovation for the time that glass of orange juice or coffee in the morning might cost you double.

You guys, everyone knows entry level jobs like cashiering will one day be phased out. We all know this.

@marcosEstrello The more government hikes up minimum wage, the more incentive there is to permanently automate some tasks.
