Even with HK's miserly minimum wage self-check-out makes sense
I love technology. Actually, given how over-worked and underpaid 'mechanical' check-out operators operate, I for one wouldnt be able to tell if they've been replaced by real machines.
Even the Hong Kong human touch?Original Post Deleted
I can assure you, with all the pricing mistakes Fusion makes, this will be far, far slower than a real human you can instantly argue with.
I've never found these machines very efficient or fast. In fact, the zombies that run check-out counters are far more experienced and faster at it than I am myself. There are a few lovely people that work where I regularly shop and are happy to teach me some Cantonese words when I check out. So no thanks to this... Now if only they could replace the HK taxi drivers with technology -- that would be far, far better and safer!
Definitely a plus when the 2 checkout lines are occupied with people will full carts and home delivery and all I need to is to pay for some water!
I never go into supermarkets in Hong Kong... they'd have to do a lot more than self-checkout to change that.
