Will people in the State of New Jersey start having to pay extra at the supermarkets and department stores when they go to a cashier to ring up their merchandise?
I am curious as to if this is what will be next?
People have two choices when shopping either go to the self check which is do it yourself or go the cashier who does it for you.

Is this where New Jersey is heading?
Wouldn’t that be the choice of the retailer?
Are you thinking it will be a law, like the new bag law? Doubtful.
No idea if this is a trend for national grocery store chains.
The reason why retailers moved over bag your own is because of Murphy's minimum wage requirements makes it cost ineffective to have cashiers anymore. As minimum wage requirement continue to go up the next few years, I surely see this as plausible.

Hmm not sure. It may just be that stores want people to do it themselves now. It seems to be a trend that I see more now. I don't know how it would be a law. I prefer people be permitted to choose what they want and not be charged extra.
I started using my own bags when Covid-19 first came out and wiped them down when I got him. I stll use them and I much prefer my own. Except when I stop in at the store and forgot to put my bags back in my car then I can't stop off at the store anymore unless it's for something small.

In all honesty I think I am doing both, sort of. I trying to understand why people want to ring their own and don't complain the others prefer a cashier. I'm sure some people on the site know what I'm talking about.

So take away jobs. People warned raising the minimum wage would cause people to lose their jobs and sure enough that is what is happening. I suppose he doesn't care since our President Biden or Governor Murphy will allow them Government Assistance, unemployment, and so on. We will all end up paying more in the long run. Then why not stop having all services? like cut down on waiters, waitresses and just have one who stands there to refill the buffet style diner. There are places that do that when a large group go out for a special dinner. No more waitresses bringing the food to the tables. Now it's one room buffet and the customers bring their plate of food to their table.

I never heard of having to pay more if you choose to go on a cashier line. Obviously this would be an individual store decision. Is there a store that is currently practicing this policy or is this just a drama post?
Regarding self checkout lines, of course this eliminates jobs, which is a bad thing. My wife won't even use self checkout because there is often an issue such as the computer freezing or requiring an employee to scan their own key anyway. Self checkout can make life easier if you only have a couple items and want to get in and out fast, but normally we need an employee to assist at some point for larger grocery purchases. There are more cons than pros for sure.
