re: Retail theft 21x more likely when using self checkout

Home Depot in Lake Charles is trying to get away from self-checkout. The manager wants it gone due to theft but corporate is fighting him. Now he has people "assist" you in self-checkout defeating the purpose of it since they scan everything for you and only let you punch the screen to complete the transaction.
Walmart too is opening more cashier isles and is said to be considering doing away with it on a national level or at least reducing it greatly.
I hate going to HD now because of the situation since I prefer self-checkout when I am in a hurry but per usual the dregs of society ruin stuff for the rest of us.

I was at Home Depot in BR last week and it was the same. Only 2 of the “self checkout” stations were open and both had attendants scanning the items.

As someone mentioned, many Walmart stores are remodeling to allow more self checkout. The one nearest me just finished, and I’d estimate that half of cashier checkout has been eliminated.
If they go back now, it will be very expensive.

Funny how corporate is fighting them, yet it looks like LC, Kenner, and Br are all saying F that. Hadn’t been to Harahan in a while, but sure it’s the same
When these stores do their cost/benefit analysis I wonder how they determine how much shrinkage from self checkout and how much from the register. Ran to HD before the freeze to get a few items, so a guy w a full cart try to jump the line to one of the self-checkouts open. Lady told him that’s not how it works, he has to get in line. Dude looked at her and just rolled out w the full cart.

Started noticing this too at the Walmart in BR. I didn’t think anything of it as typically I’m too stubborn/stupid to get a cart so I have my hands full and just thought it was workers being courteous, but this makes a lot of sense too.

The HD on highland in BR won’t let anyone use self checkout anymore due to theft. It was a shite show last time I was there because they don’t have the right amount of cashiers to run each kiosk

Not here. WM in Prairieville just remodeled the whole self checkout area. It’s like 90% of the front area
