The existence of more cashiers will not reduce theft when it's not their job.
Do these machines have other hidden costs that are less visible? Who makes them, how do they get into supermarkets? Are they renting them? Paying a monopoly for maintenance like the mcdonalds ice cream machines that are always out of order?
Cashiers absolutely reduce theft. Its so easy to even do simple things like buying all organic produce and then punching it in as conventional. Its so easy tell the machine yoy bought 2 when you bought 3.
Shit, the first time i ised a self checkout line I got frustrated with the machine and ended up stealing like 40$ worth of shit.
