Shopping there always felt supremely weird to me. Scanning in, getting stuff, and walking out, but I always felt incomplete without a receipt being right there in my email, wondering if I'd done something wrong and had just inadvertently shoplifted.
I shop more often at Walmart, which has recently increased the number of manned checkout lanes and restricted their self-checkout to 15 items or less.
- bombcar 3y agoThe local Walmart expanded self-checkout and it works surprisingly well (the bag scale seems to be very loosely calibrated or off). I wonder if they're doing things differently depending on how much product walks out the door.
- xp84 3y agoJust in the past month or two, in my (low-crime suburban) area, Walmart appears to have closed the two large self-checkout areas entirely and replaced them with a (relative to before) army of cashiers. I have always found their machines to be very hassle-free, but the shockingly-adequate level of cashier staffing made my last visit surprisingly quick and convenient. I could live with this.
