Why Stores Want You to Use Self-Checkout ukjobs news careers money jobmarket stocks economic [x2XKXi7Pu4J]
Self-service checkouts aren’t just about convenience, they’re about cutting costs. In this short, I explain how self-checkout machines save supermarkets money by reducing labour costs, shifting the work of scanning and processing purchases onto customers. It’s a clear example of prosumption, where consumers take on roles that were once paid jobs. From retail to the wider economy, this shift is changing how work is defined—and why entry-level roles are disappearing. #selfcheckout #prosumption #unpaidwork #futureofwork #retail #economics #labourmarket #genz #youtubeshorts
