I would agree with that except that our local groceries cannot seem to get
enough *willing* help to even keep all the self checkout banks open.  So the
self-checkouts are taking jobs from people that don't exist.

There are a lot of folks working there, pushing large carts to fill orders
for delivery and drive-thru, so they are employing plenty of people... just
no one that wants to be a cashier or to man the self-check banks.

Wal-mart locally, OTOH, has people working their self-check banks, on
average about as many as would be running non-self-check lanes, if they
were open.  So no jobs lost there, either.
