Self-awareness FAIL: Vox sounds alarm about store 'self-checkouts,' reality checks ensue

Vox has an article outlining a problem related to self-checkouts at stores:

Self-checkouts eliminate jobs, shift work to the consumer, breed shoplifting and pave the way for extreme surveillance when we shop. https://t.co/Vp3A9ckJeY

Er, who wants to tell them?

Self-checkouts are the inevitable outcome of the policies you push — like wages not commensurate with the value of one’s job, and “free” benefits for others in society.

Businesses are not going to eat financial loses because that’s not how they work. https://t.co/KlYuoNE9hc

I honestly believe now that they actually do not understand this argument.

Maybe someday there will be a “hot take kiosk” installed at Vox.

You cannot simultaneously dislike self-check out and fight for a $15 minimum wage. https://t.co/9z4Xffrk83

Vox thinks the purpose of Walmart is to maximize the number of people it employs. https://t.co/JsFPN7aNCk

Also these anti corporate rebels are apparently concerned over shoplifting
