That’s when they should introduce a second shift instead of just having one shift and one set of staff.
Then you have to pay for double the employee hours. And you may not necessarily make double the profit in doing so.
With self checkout and shelves that detect when stock is empty, how much people could they really need.
I have often wondered about the self checkout clerk/guard who’s only job it is to do random control checks in case someone tries to steal.
I sort of cant imagine that they would lose more then a full employee wage on theft without that person there. Especially since pretty much every supermarket having insurance against common theft.
Its called “commercial property insurance” and covers both customer and employee theft.
There exist even a version where lost profits on stolen goods are additionally insured but at least that one is rare to see in this context.
Oh, none of this matters soon anyways. We’re all being replaced with AI and robots. None of us are going to have jobs, or money, or ability to pay for rent. Better buy a really really nice tent soon. That’s going to be your home!
You could also take a shift off, just like they would need to to go to your place of work, since they likely have the same hours.
So they need to go out of their way, but not you? The double standards of entitled people are hilarious.
Not to mention business hour limitations from bylaws, not always profitable to be open… lots of factors people ignore, but let’s talk about them now shall we?
They don’t need to take a shift off to come to my place of work because I work on an office where the customers are people doing their job.
And if they needed to take a shift off to come to my place of work, it would only be because they work at the same hours as I do. If they worked different hours they wouldn’t need to take a shift off.
Taking a shift off every time you need to shop (at least once per week) isn’t moving mountains?
