Walmart used to have self service check out for a very few years. Everyone hated them and I saw many people (including myself) try to use them, then angrily throw their products back in the cart, and go looking for a checkout with a human operating it, or they would just leave the stuff and walk out.
Walmart wised up and pulled the self service checkouts.
“Walmart wised up and pulled the self service checkouts.”
If they did, they must have experienced a high number of thefts at your store. Every Super Walmart in Texas has one section of self-check registers. We prefer to use them because they are faster than waiting in regular check-out lines.
They're pulling them from high theft stores, we still have them in my area.
We still have most gas stations where you can get your gas and then go in and pay for it. Traveling in Missouri recently all I could find was "pay first". Too many "drive offs", I suppose.
I liked them, but one of the things I bought regularly at Walmart was a two pack of lithium coin batteries ($3 for one battery, $3.50 for two?). Every time I tried to use the self serve the package was too light to be detected on the bagging scale and a supervisor had to come over and punch in an override code. Since then they've jacked up the two pack price so I don't go very often anymore.
