Closing of automatic cash registers is requested
Is it necessary to close the automatic cash registers? This is the question posed by the Auchan CFDT union. Due to the coronavirus epidemic, this union requests the closure of automatic teller machines.
They would not comply with health safety instructions, unlike traditional cases. In the first line, the cashiers are worried because they cannot respect the barrier gestures.
“When there is a bug on the till, we get closer to the customer and we ask him to move away. Some do, but others don’t care“, Underlines Patricia. The woman is wearing a mask over her face. However, she is afraid of being infected.

Scanners are also targeted
Thus, this cashier says: ” Customers constantly touch the screens, which are disinfected several times a day, but absolutely not after each customer visit. Behind, there are other customers arriving and touching the same screen. It is not safe. “
For Guy Laplatine, “It is completely absurd to continue using these devices. “ This CFDT union representative wants to close the automatic cash registers. He explains: “There are practically no more queues in hypermarkets, since we regulate the number of people to a hundred. There are almost as many hostesses as customers, and hostesses must absolutely be protected. “
The union would also like to stop another system: that of the boxes used for “scans.” “These are the boxes for which you have to scan your own items. As a precaution, there are fewer hostesses. This results in fewer checks and some customers could benefit from it.
