Look at WalMart, Target and most grocery chains. Evey remodel adds more self-serve registers and departments. My local grocery store has 9 self scan registers and only 6 regular registers. Of the regular registers, you are lucky to see 2 open on any given day. Weekdays from 7-10 ish they have 2 open, then only 1 until 3-8 or so when they reopen a 2nd. Weekends only have 2 and one cross trained bagger who rings as needed.

My local WM Neighborhood Market just went 100% self-checkout. It opened four and a half years ago with 8 checkouts. Then remodeled about a year later with four self-checkouts. Then they installed higher quality versions. Just last month they tore out all remaining checkouts and put in 12 self-checkouts. Most of the former checkers are now pulling groceries for pickup. There are maybe two people watching the entire checkout process.

Former checkers are hating it as they get stuck pulling-in carts, bagging or being stuck back in glorified restock or internet shopping roles for pickup.
