    I have heard from people who work with these self checkout systems that the subscription to the software costs about as much each month as a worker does. No idea if this is true but I use some expensive software myself and it seems plausible.

      I wouldn’t be surprised if the software had a cheap rate at first but then they raised the rate dramatically to increase profits after stores were dependent on them.
