Well one person can (in their eyes) look at 5+ self checkouts.
They can still physically do checkout on only one register.
And the entire point of these supervisors isn’t (just) to make sure people don’t take something without checking it out.
It’s to have someone to blame.
Because if the company can’t find out who did it (the customer), yoi can bet they’ll know which of the supervisors is “responsible”. The company’ll pay out that way instead.
Some “smarter” store managers might double-dip and pocket the costs. Definitely a logical personal finance move for some morally challenged.
