Remember when it was reported Self Check outs never pay for themselves?
Turned out to be yet another loss leader Tech grift like Uber? (Reasons-recap) *High maintenance costs *High software and payment processor fees. *Easy Theft. *** . . . . leading to hire back cashier workers to instead watch the Self Checkouts. *So no payroll savings and higher fixed costs. ( ) It's been trending that Walmart has been closing Self Checkouts completely except for Walmart + users and Target also has been closing Self Checkouts. Whatever is going on, Walmart and Target are currently lines lines and lines with no low item Express lanes. So yeah, until they sort it out, expect massive lines at your local Walmarts and targets.

Kind of happy about it; the lines at the self checkout were getting longer than the regular lines, almost half the machines were out of order at my local stores, at least once every other time I used them the item failed to scan or didn't scan at right price so I had to wait for a employee anyway, and almost all of them were set to credit card only pay and couldn't take cash which was beyond stupid. Hopefully it opens up more jobs for cashiers again. Put back in 2 express lanes, hire some cashiers, and stop trying to make the customers into free employees.

Greedy turds. Just turn self checkout back to what it was originally intended for: you know, guys like me with one or two items who just want to get in and out tout de fuckin suite.

I'll miss self checkout when it disappears, I usually speed through. Started doing curbside pickup for groceries. It and delivery are where we're headed if they keep hiring people to run those orders instead of more cashiers.

Eh, to hell with them, I might go to a Walmart once or twice a year, and Target even less.

I like having to interact with cashiers as little as possible.
Then again, if you live in a state where there's bottle slips they self checkout at Walmart can't do them. In fact, Walmart's been flakey about them. Go to customer service, they act annoyed "You can take those to the self checkout monitor" Then they changed that, have to go to a cashier or...the customer service. Other stores don't have this problem. Walmart just sucks more and more. It's a good example of why near-monopolies are bad. |

I dont mind self check out to much, i dont buy much so its not a big deal, i dont go to Taget or Wal-mart as much as i used to, in fact i was at Wal-mart sunday morning and they have 2 large self check out areas, one on either side of the store, and one was completely shut down, but they had several cashiers waiting to check out people so i breezed right through.
The people that annoy me are the ones who have a full cart and zero common sense, they are slow and every five items requires some assistance from the person who monitors the area, they dont do anyone any service and would take just as long going through a regular line than to do it themselves.

Orlando first started getting self checkouts back in like 2003. I was real down on them at the time. Fast forward 20 years, and I love them. Fast way to get in and out. So far my target and Walmart still has them going with no changes.
