It always seemed like a huge disconnect that retailers were expanding self checkout and cutting hours, at the same time that they were complaining about higher shrink rates.
While I often prefer self checkout for small purchases, the counter-shrink measures at make the entire experience worse -- locked up products, weird checkpoints after you finish purchasing, etc.
- klyrs 3y agoThis has hit me a few times recently, in a store that installed self-checkout, reduced staff and started locking everything up. The result is that I can't find a person to unlock the product I want to buy. So now I drive another few blocks and skip that horrible experience.

My shopping trips are almost all groceries and the few locked-down things are behind the service counter or at the Rx. Pseudoephederine is only restricted item I buy.
