I have a number of friends who work as checkers in grocery stores. I refuse to use self check-out in order that they might keep their jobs.

Nice sentiment but what I see here at my Ralphs Kroger is 7 standard check out lanes. MAYBE one open. Usually they open one register, no light on, unstaffed unless you specifically ask manager. They say "talk to HQ - we have no say".  There are 4 poorly designed self checks. They plan re-design and adding more to make the space more user friendly. The retail clerks union is very strong and we've had out share of lengthy nasty strikes.
