Two Walmart stores remove self-checkout machines as retailers re-think the self checkout

Retailers such as Target, Dollar General and Five Below have reduced their self-service check out machines

Walmart is scaling back on its self-checkout machines at two stores, as more retail giants are reducing the self-service option at their stores, citing an effort to combat theft.
A Walmart in a suburb of St. Louis, Mo, recently began removing self-checkout machines, CBS News reported on Friday. Another location in Cleveland also did earlier this month.
The retail giant pointed Fox News Digital to a statement to the media.
"As part of our announced plans for additional investments and improvements to facilities across the country, we’ve decided to remove self-checkout lanes and replace them with staffed lanes at select locations including at our Shrewsbury, Missouri, store," the statement said.

The managing director for retail at GlobalData, Neil Saunders, told CBS that stores wanted to see how pulling back on self-checkout would play out.
"Self-checkout is an area of the store people can steal things," Saunders said. "Retailers are very actively trying to reduce it, or in Target's case, put more restrictions around self-checkout to try to reduce the losses they incur from it."
Dollar General is also pulling back on self-checkout machines, Fox News Digital previously reported.

The company announced last month it is set to remove the self-checkout option from 300 stores experiencing the biggest loss of merchandise.

It is a shame we have to worry about theft. Why?

Good Lord.
Some institution gave this clown a diploma to tell you something a 10 yr old knows.

Soon the usual suspects will crying that self checkout lanes being removed in select stores is racist.

Soon the mere existence of self-checkouts will be a hallmark of white supremacy.

It's very easy to.steal with those things. I had an item that wouldn't scan and I got tired of waiting on the cashier so I just put in it my bag and paid for everything else. Walked out. Easy as pie...

I like them as it's always a good chace to get Shitaake mushrooms for the price of white mushrooms, organic lettuce and avocads for the price of standard, and organic vine-ripened tomats for the price of shitty Roma tomats. User error - my bad yall!

My store has 10 self-check registers on the grocery side. Recently they were told they could only open 3 at a time. They also hired more asset protection people to watch them. A long line for this is now a constant.

How long before Biden's justice dept comes after them for the obvious racist move?

Retail theft should be a felony, 1 year minimun in a shitty prison. If you can pay 10x the value of item sold to store you get 30 days and caned.

Just wait until McDonald’s goes with robots. Those will need to be T-1,000’s to survive that clientele.

I hate that Home Depot did away with their self checkout. I was fast as hell at it. Now I have to wait for the one person working it to feel like checking me out

Good. I hate those things. If I wanted to scan groceries, I would have dropped out of high school.

Personally, I think I use self checkout, I should get a discount.

Our local Walmart recently finished a remodel that greatly expanded the self-checkout.
Our new Publix has several and the Winn Dixie added them during their remodel 3-4 years ago.
Glad we have them....
