I went to CVS last week and instead of check out people there were only the self-service check outs with store employees on hand to help people use them. Self-service check outs have existed for years, but I have always avoided them. Its kind of like how I knew VHS was becoming extinct but I still refused to buy DVDs until there were no more VHS tapes to purchase. The self-service check outs really are better than the people were. For one thing, even if I insist that a store employee hover when I self check out, I am much faster at checking out than the store employees ever were. I guess change really can be good even though its comforting when things are always familiar.
