KC Star doesn't support grocery workers

When the KC Star isn't covering Whataburger or racism they are completely lost. 

Last week we saw stories about republicans needing to be moderate in Kansas, and how one liberal in Lawrence wanted his vote to count more than anybody else in the State, and today we get Man vs Grocery Store emps.  

This brave expose captured the most difficult issue facing our city/country, self-checkouts at the grocery store.  More specifically how this Star employee will not shed a tear for the economic impact these machines have on the metro as long as his ice cream doesn't melt.  I seriously couldn't make up an Onion post that was more out of step with the rest of society than this one.

Keep in mind, that JUST THIS WEEK, there was a story about how self-checkouts were leading to people being falsely accused of theft, etc..  Keep in mind that this is a Star writer, so research and fact-checking should not be expected.  

Stores today are catering to shoppers who perceive self-checkout to be faster than traditional cashiers, even though there's little evidence to support that. But, because customers are doing the work, rather than waiting in line, the experience can feel like it's moving more quickly - CNN
