A couple of days ago, Target tried to push people to self-serve, cashier lines looked like Wal*Mart! TheBlackAdder Jan 2018 #19

Target's the only place I use self-checkout. Iggo Jan 2018 #42

I always tell them this SoCalDem Jan 2018 #51

That's what I say. Lowes was dumbfounded I'd spend an hour picking a dozen things to walk out. TheBlackAdder Jan 2018 #62

That is definitely a corporate decision crazycatlady Jan 2018 #73

At our local Kroger, they are always busy. madinmaryland Jan 2018 #35

Same here, we have self checkout at both Hannaford and Price Chopper Rhiannon12866 Jan 2018 #38

Hello easy shoplifting Kimchijeon Jan 2018 #15

Yup. The Walmarts near me got rid of self checkouts TexasBushwhacker Jan 2018 #24

So did ours. hunter Jan 2018 #29

Lowes pulled that shit with me. I had a load and no cashiers. I did a cargo drop and walked out! TheBlackAdder Jan 2018 #18

I love self checkout on my own, much faster. But I love technology. nt USALiberal Jan 2018 #47

Picking my poison, I much prefer Lowes to Home Depot. hunter Jan 2018 #53

This is old technology, the only difference is using your smartphone, rather than a handheld scanner OnDoutside Jan 2018 #31

Apple has been doing this for years too FreeState Jan 2018 #32

They just announced they are closing a ton of Sam's Clubs so it may be moot in the long run TeamPooka Jan 2018 #36

If they get rid of cashiers, I have no reason to go the stores...will order all online. Demsrule86 Jan 2018 #43
