Self-checkout rant. Agree or disagree?

[Leith]

123. I was wondering if anyone was going to mention Costco

I like Costco, but I buy only a few things there. Every single time I've been there, there are 2 employees at the exit checking receipts very carefully. I use the "self" checkout - and every time one of the 2 employees there do my checkout for me. I just smile and let them.

I was in Walmart last a few months ago. I was astonished because about half the items were behind locked doors! Customers have to push a call button to get an employee to open the door so you can reach in and get it yourself. Then the employee locks the door again and leaves. Rinse and repeat every aisle.

You know what was not locked up? The alcohol. And that department was next to "the back." I could have lifted a couple bottles of wine and 12-packs of beer and escaped out the back.

I haven't been back since.
