Customers have traditionally been used to dealing with live cashiers in their supermarket shopping experience and in most cases, most customers still look forward to that experience. In the research, we found greater amounts of complaints over automated than employee operated checkouts. When these machines were first introduced, it seemed like a good business idea in order to increase productivity and reduce costs but that has not been the case. Customer satisfaction continues to diminish greatly in all of the major chains that started to lay off employees and insert these machines into their daily use. This is the case especially with the 55+ age group who have found themselves in longer lines and arguing with machines when for years prior to self-service checkouts, they had the formality of the welcoming and warm words of employees at the checkouts.
