Hey Walmart I suspect you could stop a lot of theft if you quit making your customers do the work for you at self check out. It's ridiculous they have 20 empty check outs and a huge line at self check out. Looks to me like not only is theft much higher when you let customers check out on their own but also legitimate mistakes. I was raised not to steal so I know I check out correctly but I'm sure it would be extremely easy to steal multiple items every visit if I wanted to.

Self checkouts equal lower prices for the consumer.

Let's be honest and address who and where the stealing occurs. That's the problem. It's the same reason that those drugstores end up closing and moving completely out of shit neighborhoods.

Let's point the finger at the piece of shit members of society instead of a store that offers goods at low prices.

Sure but I remember the prices being fine before self check outs. If this is what they want to do then they have to deal with the theft.
 
I steal a lot of shit thanks to those self check out thingy.
scan 1 items, put 2 in the bags, everytime.

Food price are ups? Not for me!

Im too set in my ways to use self checkout, I rather stand in line 10 deep than go to an open self checkout and use more stupid fucking computers in my life, I enjoy human interaction with the cashier, sounds like I been missing out on a gold mine

I’m the opposite. Unless I’m doing bulk shopping more than 15 items. Even if cashier lanes are empty I’ll get out faster with self checkout. And on days when it’s super crowded it’s a god send.
 
Good riddance.
Fuck the mega-corporations!!!

Bring back little & medium-sized family owned shops.

P.s. Oh... and prosecute the thieves/robbers. For fuck's sake, it's gotten beyond insane.

Amazon will take over, not the small mom and pop shops

They'll have to deal with the same shoplifters as Walmart, which they won't stand a chance. They'll go out of business in a week in these diverse neighborhoods.
