I am not weak or anything, but seeing as how I spend at least 300 dollars a trip in the store, someone could help me bring the stuff out to my car.

Quite right Sandi. I agree with that. They must be saving a small fortune on wages if they are getting rid of staff, so why should we have to do our own scanning and packing for them as well.

Re: supermarkets
The irony here is that at our local Tesco they have about four of these do it yourself scanners, but at the same time there are two operatives 'loitering' in the area on hand to assist if necessary. And believe me it is frequently 'necessary'. And one can of times hear loud muttering of phrases such as "I have scanned the item", or "it is in the bagging area" etc.
