Our local Walmart got ride (rid) of the self-check out aisles. I asked one of the asian clerks why? She said minorities were causing too much ‘shrinkage’ by walking out of the store with unpaid for items which set up confrontations with security.

I suspect that's what's happening at our local Walmart. The self-check-outs have been "broken" for months.

They pulled ours out.

When I asked why, the short answer was they were allowing a lot of theft.

It was frustrating when you saw someone with a huge cart trying to do the self-service aisle.

I watched one gal 'so innocently" forget to scan the expensive box she had on the bottom rack of her cart.

I mentioned it to a clerk, and they caught up with her before she got to the door.

She had simply forgotten [Yeah, sure!]
