If you have the option, do you use the cashier or the self checkout line at the grocery store? What about other types if store like hardware stores?

    … with some detective work you may be able to find it.

    You reference it, you cite it.

    They cannot get away with just endlessly taking all profits from productivity gains.

    Oh ho ho, they can and will.

      It’s right here in the comment chain.

      Oh ho ho, they can and will.

      Okay, but they don’t, profit margins are typically a few percent.

      Riddle me this: why did Kmart (for example) declare bankruptcy? They just wanted to throw away free money?

        Conaway and Schwartz were accused of misleading shareholders and other company officials about the company’s financial crisis while making millions and allegedly spending the company’s money on airplanes, houses, boats and other luxuries. At a conference for Kmart employees on January 22, Conaway accepted “full blame” for the financial disaster. As Kmart emerged from bankruptcy, Conaway was forced to step down, and was asked to pay back all the loans he had taken.

        Then they bought Sears, though that brand was already a sinking ship.

        See; this is how providing proof works. Not just spouting something and saying “go look it up”

          Every large company wastes millions on overpaid executives.

          If companies pocketed all gains from productivity boosts, a T-shirt would cost a thousand dollars or so. Not only that, but no one would think to start selling T-shirts for hundreds of dollars or less, despite them costing 10 cents a piece to make in a sweatshop.

          Is that what happens?
