[Electronics-Talk] Self-service kiosks

[carcione at access.net]

I really doubt it's laziness.  It's CVS not wanting to pay cashiers.  No money for workers, everything for CEO's who sit around bloviating all day.
If the day comes and there's no cashier, and the kiosk isn't accessible, I will have to stop shopping at CVS while we sue.

Tracy, I will provide, not much of an answer. I frequent CVS and one day they simply said, that they wanted everyone to use the kiosk. I think, codeword laziness as I found a worker and ask if any blind features and how to use. I have enough Vision, to know I got a dirty look as they simply ring me up all the time. I will also say that the self service kiosk is basically always blinking out of order. I don’t know what the problem is. The person behind the cashier with the people standing in line, go back-and-forth to the self-service kiosk to straighten out whatever problem there is. So the cashier has about two customers standing in line and two people using the kiosk, as they go back-and-forth the whole shift. Tom
