Putting Profits Before Customers

 

 

Everyone has experienced frustration and overwhelm when facing a self-checkout machine at a store. Despite the fact that these gadgets were designed to make our lives easier, they frequently end up causing new problems. There is even more reason to avoid them at this point.
