NO RATINGS
Most worryingly for anyone who believes Retail will remain a future source of jobs in America;JCPenny plans to replace all Checkout clerks with RFID counters.

Not a good idea at all.

The consequences are frankly speaking Frightening.

JCPenny alone has a Thousand stores all across America.If they all fire Checkout clerks the Job losses could be in The Thousands.
