One checkout clerk, eight dollars per hour,
8 clerks per shift, three shifts per day, fifteen hundred thirty six dollars,
365 days per year, five hundred sixty thousand dollars. And change.
Face of Walmart shareholders when each store posts an additional $560k in profit because of IT and RFID? Priceless.
This is not about your privacy or mine; it's about mass retailers wanting to eliminate staff and reduce labor costs. What will cashiers do when these RFID's eliminate checkout lines? It's all about the money.
