Kroger going "all self checkout"???

And meanwhile Aldi has zero self-checkout machines.

I predict Kroger will be out of business in two years.

I have no objection to the option of self-checkout, but that's all it should ever be- an option.

I live about halfway between two Publix stores. One of them has opened a self-checkout area in addition to the attended registers. This area is staffed by one or two clerks, who are quick to jump in if there's any sort of problem.

I'm not a big fan of self check-out, but it's nice to have the option, especially if I only have a few items and there's no wait for a self-service station.

I see these cute little Kroger home delivery trucks running around.

One of my employees uses that service; says its great. They deliver in evenings when she's home from her long commute.


Edited to add: I asked. She says the item prices are competitive with in store pricing.
I've not verified this claim independently.

There's a reasonable sign up fee.
