The local Lowes just took out all the checker lanes and made them self service. The only full service lane now is in lumber. It didn't change much as the full service lanes usually didn't have any checkers working anyway.

The Walmart here was getting robbed left and right because of self checkout. They have closed almost all of them down and have 2 left. Those are heavily monitored.

Home Depots have been that way here for some time.

The Walmart here was getting robbed left and right because of self checkout. They have closed almost all of them down and have 2 left. Those are heavily monitored. Same here, none left . Same here also. They use to have maybe half a dozen self checkouts with the conveyor belt that weren't monitored very close. They shut them all down. Now they only have the cramped shelf style self check out only that are closely monitored.

I’m smart enough to follow a few prompts and get out of the store in minutes. Way faster than waiting on Aunt Gertrude to ring me up and tell me how her family is doing and hear her take on which kind of watermelon has the better flavor.

There is pretty much nothing that I don’t ❤️ about the self checkouts. I don’t believe in any way that they take away jobs.
Full service lanes can go the way of the dodo for all I care, just like full service fuel stations (where legal).

I am thinking Lowe’s and Home Depot’s customer base is a bit different than Wally World. Might work out well for them.
When I am in a store my goal is to get out of it as quickly and efficiency as possible.

Full service means they are paying 1 checker per lane. Self service means that they are paying 1 person to assist on a half dozen or more lanes.

Just wait until you have to use the Lowes ones a few times. They suck horribly, they're way worse than Walmart. They never work correctly. I can usually make it out of Walmart through the self checkout without having to get the attendant over there unless it's an age restricted item. I've NEVER been able to make it through the Lowes ones without them having to come over and unscrew it. They never scan correctly and if they do the price is wrong and they have to fix it. If you do manage to get through that then when I try to claim my veteran discount it makes you scan the back of your driver's license, that never works either. The last time I was in there I remarked to the attendant that they were a pain in the ass. He immediately replied "they're a HUGE pain in the ass".
