A regional grocery chain in America shocked customers after announcing that it plans to limit self-checkouts in a bid to increase human to human interaction in store.
Sparkle Markets — which is based in Eastern Ohio, Western Pennsylvania and West Virginia — has decided not to implement any self-checkouts, The Mirror reports.
"Many big grocery brands have decided to phase out their cashiers and replace them with self-checkout machines," said President Vincent Furrie, Jr., in a statement posted to social media, adding: "They believe limiting human interaction is the future of retail shopping."
