    Self checkout in a soulless white box is the future.

    Why wouldn’t it. What do you need from a checkout? I want to leave the store, not be entertained, coerced, woo-ed, just leave.

      My local Walmart has had so much theft they’ve blocked off all but 5 self checkout machines, which are manned by 2 associates at all times. Over the years they’ve gotten rid of all but 8 registers. Now these registers are all open and the lines reach the middle of the store. I hate going there now.

      Also everything with a resale value is locked up in cabinets and the one associate with a key can never be found no matter how many times she’s paged by other associates.

      If Walmart wasn’t cheaper by a giant margin I would never shop there again. But all Canadian grocery stores are owned by Billionaire aashats who raise the prices of everything then blame everyone else
