FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) —
An Arkansas Walmart is being used as a test location to launch all self-checkout registers at its store.
A Walmart spokesperson said Walmart Supercenter Store #359 in Fayetteville is currently
removing all of its traditional belt lines to replace them with self-checkout registers.
There will be no cashiers at the location.

Well, it worked for Gas Stations...
In Minneapolis, every store is a self-checkout store.
“I’m just going to walk out.” - most people
Seems to me that BLM Hood Rats have made plenty of trial runs all over the country for the past couple of weeks.
In this situation at Wally World how about not scanning a few
purchases. Just put them in the carry out bag and move along.
Undoubtedly they have some kind of alarms to show items not scanned
'Course, if there are no cashiers at all, I'd be totally scrood. They gotta have somebody there to help when those things get hung up.
It's basically a fustercluck. Most people can't figure out the self-checkout so that is hosed up along with the one or two traditional checkouts where there are very long lines.
I refuse to use automatic machines. I know how to use them, but I purposely go to a cashier. People need jobs. Even low wage jobs.
I can never get produce to work.
I assume they will do what they do now, have one Person overseeing eight Self Check Stations and someone at the Door checking Receipts.
They will have a human to handle issues but one for every eight stations versus paying for eight cashiers. The RFID tech is getting better, meaning an unscanned (shoplfted) item will get flagged. This seems inevitable.
I happen to like the self checkout. Here in CA, you only need to go to the checker if you are buying alcohol or tobacco.
I guess this means you can’t use Manufacturer Coupons to save Money any more.
I use the self checkout for a few items and don’t have any
problems. But I wouldn’t do that for a large cart full of
items. I prefer the normal check out with bagging by the
the clerk and me placing the bags in the cart. JMO
“Most people can’t figure out the self-checkout”
People can’t figure out how to scan bar codes? Seriously?
LOL.... no cashiers. No registers.
Exactly. No doors, no windows.
