I don't get it either like using more time then why not just put self checkout and more receipt checkers and make it into like a costco. they probably can't hire people as it is so you have like two lanes open lol
@liferx4343 It means more jobs for unskilled and uneducated people and otherwise incapable of finding a job in their field people, which we have a glut of in this state.
since when does giving people busy work enhance creativity or productivity? the government should just give people money for behaving well, let machines do things where humans dont have to.
%100 is this a loss prevention decision. Self checkout has created so many loop holes with bulk purchases and door greeter positions brushed off. At this point I’m sure everyone has stolen from Walmart because of self checkout either intentionally or not.
And I'm sure WM has double-dinged me for items. Yet I could scan a whole basket faster than most of these Idiocratist shoppers with a few. I want self-checkout, just not self-harrassment. Shame the cost to live, and a few criminals, has ruined it for the rest of us.
Don't put ME in that category. I don't go shopping to steal groceries. Insead of going home with your stuff , you get caught and ger arrested. Bad decision .
I work at Circle K on Osuna I just quit today. I got hit in the face with an elbow by a homeless man and I was threatened by another woman that was homeless then at the end of the night I was threatened with a gun. Called the police they never showed up once I was at a Circle K store working alone and the cops never showed up they called me an hour and 15 minutes later telling me that did I still need them to show up. So if I didn't answer the phone they would have assumed that I didn't need them to but what if I was dead these cops are either lazy or overwhelmed but I'm disgusted by the fact that we have no police protection at any stores and that's why there's so many thieves instead of just putting it on the police department put it on the government for not properly enacting and placating to the homeless over the taxpayers I can't hold a job because homeless people can do whatever the f*** they want to.. people wonder why people don't work because we're not safe and we're not getting paid enough money to do this kind of job Valero on Osuna and Jefferson kitty corner from us has been closed for over a week because it's not save the homeless people are running amok in controlling the road in the street doing whatever the hell they want to and I am worth more than $14.50 an hour working for Circle K who doesn't care if I live or die
I knew it was a bad idea when they started it in my neighborhood. I never wanted computers checking me out. That puts people out of work and gives crimlnals the chance to put those card skimmers on the machines to steal your money. I'd rather stand in line where REAL people work.
Great! Now I have to wait in long lines behind people who look like they're shopping for the entire year! Then add another hour everytime someone wants a price check on an item because they thought it was supposed to be 5 cents cheaper!!
I assure you theft is the nunber one reason for their decision to remove them. However, I'd rather use self checkout to avoid those rude ass cashiers. I swear they have a daily competition to see who can be the rudest.
You are making the company even more money by doing their work. Why on earth would you pay full price for things and then save them even more money? This does not make sense.
@@markgutierez9922.. 😮 amazing, we were told how much happier and friendly employees would be with $15 hr wage?? 😅 money has nothing to do with personality.
It's always hilarious to see all these "I hate the self checkouts, get rid of them!" and the "I'm using self checkout to steal!" comments. People fail to realize, if corporate is taking them out, it means it's one step closer to converting that store to all OGP (online grocery pick-up). In short, you won't be allowed in the store. You'll have to order stuff online, and once you've paid for it, yourstuff will be brought to your car. Don't have a car? Don't have a debit card? Don't know how to use the app? Hmm, sorry, sucks to be you! Give a huge thanks to everybody whining about self checkouts!
@@iamtheoffenderofall What's the difference between taking an item out of your cart and putting it on a conveyor belt, or running it across a scanner and putting it in a bag? At least you can pack the items the way that you want them!
@@BST-lm4po I'm not scanning items. I'm not bagging items. I'm not processing the cash to make change. The fact you have to ask this displays your lack of intelligence. Would you fix your own car after having taken it to a mechanic? Would you snake your own toilet after calling the plumber? What you are babbling about is exactly this.
I live in Lexington Park Md. and the cashiers are very pleasant. Some people don't know how to be kind and smile . I do and the cashiers smile back. They even walk around and put my bags in the cart. Kindness goes both ways.
Finally. Sick of doing their damn jobs. You should get a discount if you do self checkout for doing their jobs. This state is still leading in the wrong direction as always
@@markgutierez9922 Thats why when I self checkout, I pay myself for doing their jobs. How? Somethings dont get scanned. I am not a charitable organization. My time is very important and precious to be working for free.
I need to closely monitor my Wal-Mart purchases. I have encountered way too many scanning errors that would have cost me. So, keep your chit chat with the cashiers and let me check myself out. I promise not to steal the cookies. 😮
They put self-checkout at our local grocery store and with buy one get one free or buy two get two free and people mixing the wrong Brands coupons I mean it is absolute utter chaos and ridiculous. My daughter says she sees people just walk out with stuff switch prices on items put a $2 cookie price on a bouquet of roses. It's ridiculous already. We like people
Who wants to interact with a Walmart employee? I mean you go to get your groceries. I don’t wanna hear some story that never ends while I wait while my ice cream melt I’d rather check myself out.
Self checkout will be back one day but it will be much more automated so there is no stealing from the store. I prefer self checkout personally but it will be interesting to see what technology they use to bring it back.
Ppl need jobs, why do we need robot's thinking for us, all day long? Lol.. When using self checkout you still have to wait! if you encounter an error for the attendant to correct! That still takes time, while they are bouncing all over the place till they get to you! How is that quicker? Possibly, opening 3 lanes for Ppl that have 20 items or less they should try that for a period of time,. If it doesn't have the amount of Ppl for the fast checkout then go to 2 lanes. Same goes for the larger purchases & the other checkouts, add 5 lanes try that out, if not go to 4 lanes. Imo also, monitoring slow cashier's would be ideal, as well. Not all older register operator's are slow, I've seen some younger cashiers go slow, as if they are getting paid by the day. Ppl have other things in their daily agendas to attend too. If you want frozen food separately from other items why not just ask? Their are also, good older adults and young cashier's, don't get me wrong! just saying.
I noticed the past two weeks Walmarts in the Salt Lake metro area closed their self checkouts making people wait in line for unfriendly employees to slowly do their jobs. A Walmart employee told me theft is too high despite having employees and actual city police keeping a close eye. I believe it has more to do with inflation, economic downturn, and operating cost management.
What they REALLY need to do is hire more checkout operator's! And keep all registers open during business hour's! This b.s. of only having one or two lanes open needs to stop! Management needs an ASS WHOOPING!
A recent MIT study put the average cost of a 4-station grocery check out station at $125,000 in install. Now Walmonster will remove them and and then what ? Dump them in the local Land-Fills ?
Maybe she really has tentacles. lol. But, seriously, pretty much half the Walmart employees I come across in the store (wherever in the store they happen to be) are rude as h!! They hate their jobs and they take it out on the customers.@@Bdamazyn
this isnt hard. its real simple. 10 items or less? self checkout. 11 items or more? normal checkout. or better yet, if you have a basket, self checkout, if you have a cart? normal checkout.
Remind me again why the one on Zuni shut down.... Citizens should be allowed to deal with thieves however they see fit. Personally I see them as nuisance animals
Personally, I will NEVER self checkout. Also, if I get to the front of the store and no cashiers are open forcing you to self-check I just leave my basket right there and walk out -- I will NEVER self checkout. Some stores converted 100% to self check and I simply wont go. But it seems wise to leave the option open for those weirdo's who do like to do the stores work for them. :) (my wife is one of those weirdo's she loves it. I always ask is she restocked the shelves as well before she left!)
@@Robohazrad Is adulting too hard for you and you just can't pull it off? Poor thing. :( Do you want to put on your big girl panties and try again - maybe act like an adult this time and have a normal conversation?
You realize that leaving a cart full of groceries will now have an associate that probably would have been on a register now delayed to put back all that stuff.
At my Walmart, the only one in the entire county, people aren't trained on how to do anything so I was ecstatic when we got self checkout machines. I no longer have some dumbass putting my food in a bag with motor oil. Yes, that really happened to me, I'm not making it up. As soon as I saw the kid do it I made him stop bagging my purchases, made the cashier pause in ringing anything else up until I'd gone through every bag I'd not watched due to talking to my husband. People don't care about poisoning others so if doing it myself to make sure my family doesn't get sick makes me a freak then so be it. At least I'm not driving prices up by leaving behind things the store is forced to write off because some fool walked away from a cart with refrigerator items just because he isn't happy about something others like. You owe everyone grocery money!
@@markgutierez9922 "that probably would have been on a register now delayed to put back" Catch -22 - if there had been on cashier duty I would not have left the cart. I WILL NOT SELF-CHECKOUT. I won't unload the trucks or restock the shelves either. If you don't have somone to check me out that is poor managment and poor managment is not my fault.
Waiting for a self-checkout is a hell lot more annoying if you're just buying a couple of items. The staffs are real fast at checkout you out when you're buying only a couple of items.
Of course theft is a reason a big part of it probly 75%....i was just in a Walmart...it used to have 30+ checkout lanes now they have 8 and not a one of them had a cashier in attendance but they have 16+ self checkouts and i counted 8 people just standing around not really doing anything except talking or being totally absorbed into their phones ....the so-called greeter didnt even look up from her phone to acknowledge anybody coming in or going out
Wish I just had a home, so I could order in, instead of having to stock up my company semi all the time. Sick of this whole bullshit. Hate having to deal with people, any which way - and being prejudged and accused, for *actually* buying a whole lot of crap.
I'm 100% sure they did this due to the huge amounts of theft taking place however, at my local Walmart, the self check outs have staff standing around watching everyone check out their items. When I asked why are these people standing around watching instead of actually doing the job of checking out customers the response was that the company pays them to look at their phones while you check out to see if you're stealing!! WTF?? If you don't want everyone stealing put back the actual check out stands with live cashiers, that'll cut down on theft... duh!!!
Why can't they figure out a workable compromise for pete sake. How about a 2 to 1 or 3 to 1 ratio of cashiers to self check-out? It really doesn't have to be all or nothing!
I never used self checkout because i believe they are useless and besides there is no incentive for using them. Perhaps if they offer a discount then I may be tempted to use them.😁😁😁
Eventually, Walmart and everyone else will have to remove self checkout, because of the POS cockroaches, that resemble human beings as thieves can be eliminated.
ABOUT TIME.GEEEZE. all the money they spent on surveillance and videos and eyes in the skies why not just put human beings back where they belong. Especially those of us that are handicapped and disabled we get no help and it is not fair. Especially for those of us that hate self-checkout .those are the ones that miss something accidentally and get accused of stealing😮
That's for the thieves at the loser Walmart's... try that in Cottonwood and you get put down to the ground.. and if you're unhappy with it and move out of the ghetto
I think it's dumb to use self-checkout unless the store is going to give me a 15 percent discount for checking and bagging my groceries.... Y'all might as well wait for us Baby Boomers to die off because we're just not that stupid...
Walmart cashiers are notoriously slow and angry people 😢 I’d rather ring up my own stuff but I’ve know ppl steal for fun out here and it’s just sad 😢 it’s going to take 20 minutes now to check out even at the 10 items or less check out 😢
I mean I’ll shed some light for you a lot of us cashiers feel and are basically treated like Numbers to a system and honestly the attitudes always Start from the top down.
I hâte self check out, I take forever on purpose, ask a lot of questions and act dumb, forget stuff in the cart and have to check out again …it is hard work😂.
Yes, she says it's sooo inconvenient to have to wait in line for a "couple of items". What she "forgets" to mention is that it's so much harder to steal those items when you're being checked out by an employee.
Nah, it's a major inconvenience to have wait behind people with shopping carts that are overflowing when you only have a few items! If they're going to eliminate self checkout, then they better open up an express lane!
@@BST-lm4po Sure, express lanes. They have that already. As long as "express" lane doesn't mean an open door that you just run out. Is that what you want? Sorry, you have to pay.
