Marketplace Morning Report
- When you go to a grocery store or pharmacy, do you prefer those self-checkout lines that have become so ubiquitous? Or are you actually more likely to avoid them because you just know you’re not going to be able to scan your item without an error message popping up and a sales associate having to come over to help you out? Self-checkouts and their shortcomings are the subject of a new piece in The Atlantic magazine, written by staff writer Amanda Mull and she joins David Brancaccio to discuss.
- David Brancaccio speaks with an FTC official about a series of scams designed to target Gen-Z.
