Walmart location in Ontario shuts down self-checkout after rise in theft
One Walmart Supercentre in Ontario is rolling back on its self-checkout kiosks after an alleged rise in theft at the store — and is opting for a &quo…www.blogto.com
With rising food prices and grocery stores making record profits, customers are taking their own piece of the pie. Here is a cost savings tip for enterprising shoppers: just enter code for bananas when weighing fruit at the self check out. You’re welcome!
I think the original rationale for self-serve checkouts (same as ATM's) was to save on labour cost.
I think Whole Food is entirely self-serve.

Starsky’s is having a good laugh at the stupid American & Canadian grocery stores. Starsky’s has no self checkouts, still provides plastic bags, has efficient cashiers, and plenty of eye candy at the checkouts.
Self checkouts were a horrible idea, yes they can save on labor but the shrinkage will kill you faster.
Yeah the amazon store in seattle is wild. You use your amazon account to enter the store.. you take what you want and leave. They can tell what you took through cameras and sensors. Its so fast. The worst part of the grocery store is the checkout.
My moral code can't be bought for the price of a banana, so no thanks.
Actually it would be price of mangoes. But I understand you are of high moral standard. Why else would you be bantering on an escort review board.

I used to use plastic shopping bags for my kitchen garbage. Now I have to buy plastic garbage bags. So the ban was useless. Everybody still needs plastic bags for garbage. Out with 1 type of plastic bag, in with another plastic bag.
ANother stupid government decision.
I was at Walmart recently and the line for check out were crazy so I went to self check out. I had something that wouldn't scan $29.99 when I asked for help which took 5 minutes the person couldn't figure it out and put in in manually but made a mistake and put it through at $2.99 - I wasn't going to correct him.
Could be because I count the non-sensual act of thievery as immoral, and not the consensual acts in this industry. What's your argument? That since we engage in this industry, all bets are off? Nothing is immoral anymore?Actually it would be price of mangoes. But I understand you are of high moral standard. Why else would you be bantering on an escort review board.
Plus statistics and studies have shown that the majority of plastics that are in the ocean come from coastal population centers, and third world countries. Not population centers that are inland, even if they have rivers and streams.
So..............why am I being punished living in Ontario when the polluters are those near the coast and in third world countries?
I assume you don't watch the Disney anymore? It makes Sodom and Gomorrah appear tame. And Netflix is basically prime time Pornhub. The term immoral is so 18th Century. And that's why they (the corporations) should have known Self-Checkouts were going to be an absolute money pit. Immorality is not a buffet - these things are all immoral, no matter what you pick for dinner. (I thought that pun was very clever. Get it?? Lmao)
Stay frost bro. (It's gonna get real hot soon! If you know what I mean!
)You mean you are willing to risk a beating from a couple of EI's with a five foot broom handle so that you can get a couple of kiped mangos?Actually it would be price of mangoes. But I understand you are of high moral standard. Why else would you be bantering on an escort review board.
Walmart has upped the ante. There is now a security guard at the exit wearing a bullet proof vest. Yes children, it is a bullet proof vest! It is comical because she weighs all of 120 pounds, is 5'5", and is actually cute GND. Still, it is a change the granny that use to stand at the exit giving us the blank stare as we leave.

There's a deeper problem they are struggling with. Its not only Walmart but other retail stores too. There's day I prefer self check out and there's day I prefer my bags to be packed.
Recently Lulu lemon won a court case in regards to hiring foreign workers. They are struggling for staff. Its the same across the board for many. Minimum wage works out to be 16.55. Even if these organizations paid more no one is interested in working at Walmart. Maybe as a student, but that comes with challenges since you need transportation to and from. More and more people cannot afford cars and more people are interested in making money on youtube (finding income source from the comfort of home). I put myself through school by working at a grocery store. I'm nearly 50. If I were to ask my niece and nephew working retail jobs they laugh. These labor jobs are getting hard to fill.
This topic made me think of this...here's a little funny for everyone.
Have a good long weekend man.
