Keep on milking. They will just transfer that cost to customers
What strange thing to do, this sort of optimization opens the door for more meaningful jobs. If a tax is to be increased on super markets, this one isn’t it.
I don’t think this is how we protect workers. Better training for better jobs is more important than tacetly forcing employers to keep people on the payroll who aren’t needed, which at the end of the day is what this is actually about
I was thinking about posting this, when I read it. I understand the social aspect of it (e.g. replacement of workers, less interaction), but is it really necessary to tax this type of innovation?
Yeah well. Molenbeek is in dire need of money so why not tax these instead of something else.
What they should do, is tax people who use the selfscan tills without knowing how to use the selfscan tills.
Oops, guess I’ll have to draw infrastructure plans by hand soon. Because that laptop of mine sure saves my company a lot of employees.
They’d better tax Bullshit jobs instead of this… That’s ridiculous
Misschien dan ook maar een mannetje zetten om de bareel open te doen bij de parking ipv automatisch systeem.
Terug naar het loket van de bank ipv de automaat.
Molenbeek is a small territory, in most places you’re less than 500 meters from one of the surrounding communes. So supermarkets can just dump Molenbeek and open on the other tax free side of the street.
I have low standards for the Barony of Molenbeek, but this level op incompetent governance still amazes me.
Isn’t this good for online grocery services?
Ik dacht even dat dit r/nietdespeld was…
En dit is legaal????
Solution is to only put one register, and have people wait.
Nog steeds goedkoper dan een werknemer aanbrengen.
1800 euro netto (2500-2700 euro bruto) + maaltijdcheques + transportvergoeding + eventuele ecocheques PER MAAND, PER WERKNEMER vs jaarlijks 6000 euro per zelfscankassa betalen…
Als ik filiaal manager was, ik zou het weten…
Are we also fining banks for every ATM machine? And every security camera could have been a security guy of course. And every truck could have been an army of men carrying boxes.
I’m sorry but this policy is madness
Yes because sitting/standing in a uniform at a register on Saturday was a dream job.
And doing the same swipe move for hours.
And be client friendly everyday.
O.M.G.

Can’t supermarkets challenge this legally, seems like a really arbitrary tax with no scientific or economic foundation at all. It just proves to me that the people governing there are utterly incompetent cunts.
Reminds me of the ”belasting op drijfkracht” which still exists in Wallonia. Hur durr the machines are taking our jobs.
Catherine Moureaux (PS) another prime example of nepotism and incompetence, enough said.
Des te meer richting Wallonië, des te achterlijker ze worden.
When you’re a sos and therefore all out of good ideas.
This is dumb, and I call bullshit on this entire situation. This is a attack aimed at a single supermarket chain (Delhaize).
Also:
>”Bovendien valt niet te ontkennen dat deze regelingen, die uitsluitend door supermarkten worden opgezet, gevolgen hebben voor de sociale samenhang in wijken waar veel ouderen wonen, omdat er geen contact is tussen klanten en werknemers
This reasoning feels so forced and wrong. If they were truly worried about lonely elders, the townhall could hire social assistants or other staff that is tasked with contacting/communicating with the elderly of the city/town and prevent them from becoming lonely or isolated.
Not to mention, I don’t think anybody wants elderly people clogging up the checkouts for half an hour while they are talking to the staff. Not the personnel, not the management, not the other customers, and in a lot of cases – not the elderly themselves. Also, keeping elder people entertained is not (and should not be) a task for store personnel. Implementing this kind of law suggests that they ARE more than just employees. Then they are social workers as well, and should be payed by the local government to be treated as such.
But then again, doing either of those two things would cost money, huh? Way easier to attack one store chain and add in a pointless tax rather than actually solving the problem of lonely elderly people.
If I’m wrong and this is not a targeted attack, then ALL of the people that voted in favor of this law are clueless boomers that have never visited the supermarket they end up targeting. Supermarkets always have a healthy mix of regular checkouts and self-scan devices supervised by staff (there’s always somebody around). Why are they acting in total panic as if the self-scan checkout is going to make all store personnel superfluous? That is not happening.

Is it commies? Let’s read the article
> heeft de invoering van die kassa’s gevolgen voor het werk zelf, omdat de klant taken uitvoert die vroeger voor het personeel waren weggelegd.
[Mfw](https://i.imgur.com/G4QeCek.png) supermarkets install air conditioning and take away tasks from employees. Also [mfw](https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.sEITGepvv0SPb9q7bWwXrgHaLz?pid=ImgDet&rs=1) sliding doors take away tasks from employees. Bunch of neo-Luddites.

Delhaize’s spokesperson claims these self-scan thingies won’t affect employment though. Sound legit…
