Walmart is removing self-checkouts from 2 stores entirely.

Retailers are beginning to remove self-checkout it minimize theft.

Quote
Walmart is continuing to remove self-checkout machines from its stores in what
it claims is an effort to improve the 'in-store experience' for customers.

In two stores - in Shrewsbury, Missouri, and Cleveland, Ohio - the retailer said it
would replace kiosks with staffed checkout lanes which will 'give our associates
the chance to provide more personalized and efficient service.'

In reality, many stores are ditching self-checkout kiosks because they are especially
vulnerable to theft, an issue which retailers claim in recent years have been plaguing
their businesses and forcing them to shut locations altogether.

'Most of the rollback of self-checkouts is due to retailer concerns over theft,' Neil Saunders,
managing director of GlobalData, told DailyMail.com.
