That's crazy. We have a designated checker for each self checkout.

We have about 1 employee per 12 self checkout stations.

Kinda what I meant, too.

In more modern places, they have little machines that they can solve any issue without having to stand up.

In older places, they have to walk around, and they are assigned to like 6-10 machines.
