I obviously didn’t mean all employees ,only the employees who are doing the check out .

I am not saying RFID will eliminate employees in retail , just that there is cost to not having RFID too, we should only see the diff as the cost of the tech not absolute numbers

I understand, and what I am saying is that it is rare to have retail employees that _only_ do checkout. Nearly everyone performs multiple roles. Eliminating checkout will reduce the overall workload, but won't necessarily reduce headcount, or enough headcount to offset the cost of RFID tags.

Why is that relevant?

If 5 employees spend 20% of their combined time on checkout, and you get rid of checkout, you can go down to 4 employees, can't you? Why does the exact distribution matter? You'll still have a healthy variety of tasks to spread among those employees.
