"Raise the price for everyone who doesn't use self-checkout? Sure thing!"

    They have to pay an employee to scan and bag your items. By using self checkout they are saving money. It makes sense to charge less for a service that costs them less.

    This is essentially "trickle down theory" and also explains why businesses and rich fuckers don't do it. You already used to paying the price, so what reason they're in? Do they have to lower the price? None
