yes, checkout person was the next on the list for obsolesence, I've known about these new systems for awhile, because really this is just an extension of the warehouse automation we've had for 5 years or so. If we didn't have this tech offshoring problem there would be nothing wrong with removing these checkout jobs, because there would certainly be a tech company or two who would be providing the service and support for the new machines. If this new technology is largely produced and supported offshore though, which is probably the case today, then its more US jobs lost with no replacement. We've got a jobs report coming tomorrow, John Snow says "great things are a'comin'!" while Challenger Gray and Christmas say January was the worst layoff month since last fall when we lost 100K jobs in a month.
