And this is exactly why I will never touch self checkout, especially at walmart

some chains have removed thier self-checkout, because they realize the theft was too high because shoplifters use the fake scanning techniques quite alot.

My Aldi removed the self checkouts after about a year, now I have to wait in line again.
