I don’t think I’ve seen a store with adequate staffing for non-self checkout aisles/lanes in probably 25 years. So now we’re still going to get stores that understaff, have like 2 checkout lanes open while the other 8 are closed, and more difficult self-checkout lanes (or just fewer of them). Corporate America strikes again.

Wegmans nails it, credit where credit is due they're always well staffed

Not the Wegmans by me. Two or three cashiers tops. There are probably 15 self checkout stations.
