Resist the machine! Let humans run checkouts

Betty Reynolds buys groceries from cashier DeAndre Honeyblue, right, at the Giant grocery store on 41st Street in Baltimore in 2014. File. (Amy Davis, Baltimore Sun)

I not only refuse to use retail self check-out (“The future of work: Being a cashier is Maryland’s most common occupation, but it’s likely vanishing,” May 30), but also medical office self check-in (Johns Hopkins Hospital, I'm talking to you). When asked why, I say "because it will kill your job." Some get it, some shrug, some say I won't be seen without punching my info into the machine.

Resist! Just say no!
