Walmart and 'nem backtracking on self checkout.

[konceptjones]

And just in time for the holiday season too. Pretty sure they saw the writing on the wall and figured there would be far more "shrinkage" this year than any other with the way prices are going up. The Krogers in my area got these overhead cameras that use AI to determine if you scanned an item properly or not. Shit stops you and has an associate come over to review the footage to clear it or not.

Walmart, Costco and other companies rethink self-checkout

The backlash against self-checkout is growing, and stores are starting to dial back on the technology after it exploded over the past few years.

If I have a few items, I’m gonna go to self checkout. Period.


If I have a lot more? I’ll go to a live cashier. I don’t understand the backlash

Old people buying produce at self checkout probably make their head explode lol

Then they be having cash too

Taking 5 whole mins to ring up 7 items

They got people at self checkout literally checking your stuff out for you now at the Walmart near me. At that point fuck the self checkout cuz I only go there so people can leave me alone. The perfect Walmart experience is no human contact whatsoever for me.

Maybe if Walmart didn't have 50 empty cash registers, they wouldn't be having these self check out issues.

I done took a few risks in my life but always been mortified at the thought of some fat white nigga tackling me and a pack of hot dogs and a ps5 controller fall out my bag and everybody watching

fuck that

Man they better keep self checkout

It’s bad enough that only 3 lanes be open to serve 200 people at one time.

Oddly, I was just at Walmart tonight and a good number of the regular lanes were open. Usually it's only 3 or 4.

I've grown weary to the fact that there is not enough cashiers; I use self check out whether it's groceries or an essential items trip.

Good that they're attempting to make it more convenient.

Everyone on here has their preferred time to go to Walmart, in their city.

Right when it opens at 6am in Phoenix area is best. Forget it after 8am! Especially starting this next week until peak season is done.

Swear to god back in 2009 my friend bought a Xbox 360 at self checkout at a fred meyer/kroger and weighed it as steel oats before they made you buy all electronics in the electronics area.

 

[IUTpt2]

Nah.

Them self-checkouts be convenient.

Yeah, that shit pisses me off.........but I try to ignore it.

Rather deal with that than rude cashiers.

Plus, everywhere I go...........I use at least 5 bags for each group of items.

Can't do that with a cashier.

 

[5th Letter]

Self check out is cool for one or two items.

 

[Young_Chitlin]

Self check out wouldn't weigh the onion I wanted to buy.. frustrating but I was still able to complete the purchase.

Walmart removing self-checkout in 2 states: Reports

Self-service machines were introduced during the 1980s in an effort to lower labor expenses but have become increasingly unpopular among shoppers.

Was in Walmart the other day in the morning. Go to check out a lot of people had over 25 items in the cart and was about 10-15 customers with only 3 registers open. One of the lady's that work the front was like no line at self check out. Everybody looked and did not move she said it again.
A lady said ma'am we all have a lot of stuff in our baskets we not going to self check out.
She waited and then she called some folks up front to check out and knocked out the line.
