I shop at a grocery chain that’s privately/locally owned with about a half dozen locations in the metro (pop ~1.5M). There are far fewer people there and pricing is very competitive to Walmart.
This place does impose a 25 item rule at self checkout, but nobody is paid enough to care to enforce it. Can’t say I blame them. Yet another reason to abolish self checkout.
Personally I’m in favor of extreme automation like self checkout. The real issue is that the workers don’t see the return the buisness owners do. Like imagine if we had UBI + good unemployment and then it wouldn’t really be an issue. Walmart would have to compete with people going home
Where? Self checkout isn’t express checkout. I don’t think express checkout has been a thing for 5+ years.
Edit: Lol also I appreciate this as a major reason you don’t use self checkout. That’s completely fair:
The shop-rite in my area has both express (10 items or less) and regular/no-limit self-check outs.
Depends on the region. At least here in the states there are plenty of stores where the self checkout at Walmarts have signs saying <=25

Oh, and fuck Walmart.
