I love self checkout and it transformed my shopping experience for the better. But I knew it wouldn't last forever because of shoplifting. Walmart is also putting other anti-shoplifting measures in place, such as locking away certain expensive small items like beauty products. I don't know if there is a cultural shift going on, profit seeking or if it's somehow a reflection of the political status quo.
