BBC News - Hundreds of Morrisons jobs at risk as new technology introduced
Nearly 700 jobs could be cut at Morrisons as manual cash counting is replaced by machines in the supermarket's back offices.
The Bradford-based chain has started a four-week consultation with 689 cash office managers and supervisors across its 490 stores.
The company said: "The new technology will simplify the operation."
Morrisons has been under pressure to cut costs after its profits fell by 7% in 2012 to £879m.
