Wegmans already tried doing customer self scanning on a bigger scale than the self checkout lanes. They shut it down due to to much theftGood luck with that.
Walmart Is looking to remove all cashiers from stores, going fully self checkout
According to Walmart, the retail behemoth will be going fully self-checkout and/or "Scan & Go" by the end of 2021. That's right, there could be a time and real soon that you go to Walmart and you'll no longer see cashiers or manned checkout lanes- you'll likely see self-checkout "hosts"www.positivelyosceola.com
The ideal situation would be to RFID everything and you literally just swipe a card as you roll the cart full of crap through a portal.
That's the best solution for everyone but the shoplifters.

I prefer the self checkout. It's usually much quicker and I like to bag my own stuff.

That's the ticket right there. If these companies aren't going to pay cashiers salaries, benefits, FICA taxes, disability ins., unemployment ins., PTO, etc, they'll be willing to accept some loss due to theft. The question is, how much theft is acceptable while still keeping them more profitable than paying cashiers?
Which would be fine, if the price of the items is lowered to reflect that savings.
Instead, the price is the same as if they had a cashier.
I'm not getting any benefits for doing their job.

What a joke.. It's all greed. I'm totally against any and all theft but to go to extreme levels and have the employees/customers sacrifice for it is a sham. Walmart's losses due to theft is nothing more than $1 to them. peanuts! BTW. How much profit was gained because of Covid as they shut down mom/pop stores? Fuck Them! Boo Hoo!
