I would like self-checkout a lot more if those cost savings were passed on to the consumer instead of being hoarded by ownership.
It’s the classic paradox. Technology and automation could be used to reduce the amount everyone needs to work and enrich everyone’s lives as long as those gains are distributed properly. The distribution is the problem.

I completely agree with you, but people should be aware of consumer-owned cooperatives. They are quite big in Europe, I don’t know about America.
