Walmart closes self checkouts

[VitaMan]

Several stores have closed the self checkouts due to theft.


In an effort to save money on employee costs, Walmart has instead lost money installing self checkout.


They should have known customers would not scan all their items.

I was at Walmart last night, at least 12 self serve lines open & only 2 with actual cashiers. Maybe it's only locations in "urban" areas where they already have a majority of items locked up.

Yes, certain locations. Plus their dividend went up 12%.....sweet.

WalMart is a mirror to view our society, and the view is not always pretty. Rural WalMarts carry firearms and ammunition, not urban and suburban ones. Why? There are far more customers for sporting and self-defense arms in big cities. Urban WalMarts frequently have armed security personnel and surveillance towers in parking lots. Why? Could it be that demographics concentrated in urban areas are more crime prone? Heresy to suggest such prejudice, but WalMart is not on a social justice suicide mission to redistribute wealth.

Please don't become a pet pooper scooper or bucees employee or bathroom attendant.

Walmart has some shady stuff going on lately. A lady was comparing chicken weight/ sticker had 2.78 but at the register it was showing a different amount making the cost significantly more.
Also, other people have found strange, additional fees on their receipt that made no sense. Y'all watch everything closely

Let's stay on topic. Walmart and self checkouts

Self checkouts were implemented to cut payroll.
Now companies realize theft from self checkouts are costing them way more.
These companies including Walmart were warned

When I go to Walmart, Or other stores I got the lane with a Cashier. If I wanted to ring stuff up I would not have Retired from the Grocery store.!

[FocusedGamer]

And Kroger, Walgreens, HEB, Target, CVS, etc. and every other place that sells those cheap, battery powered toothbrushes (2 for $12 ones). Well at least according to a friend who has teenage daughters..........
