Major Supermarket Change Getting Rid of Self Checkout

A major grocery store chains is doing away with self check out — I personally like using self checkout so I know that everything was scanned in correctly… How do you feel about self checkout?

To find out what store is having self checkout below

I did some research and I found that Albertsons is also closing some stores as well…. Could Albertsons be in trouble? Personally I would say things do not look very good.

Albertsons says this change in check out system is because they want to interact with customers more…. hmm….. I doubt that is the true reason. With the closing stores and this recent change I suspect that Albertsons with hurting for business. And with this simple change of some checkout stations they hope they will be bring in more money. For me personally I find myself buying more impulse items when I go to a checkout that has an employee checking me out.  Albertsons is also the store that recently changed their coupon policy.

    Interesting. We don’t have Albertson’s in our area, but our Giant has both the self scanning (you scan each item as you go through the store) and self checkout lines. One day they were auditing everyone who had self scanned their items – apparently they’d caught some people stealing by using the self scan system. It’s definitely an honor system, and I’ve wondered how long it will last!

    What changes have they made with their coupon policy? I am starting this week so that info would be great to have.

    I personally don’t like self checkout. I think it’s a cop out for the store. The customer has to do everything.

    My mom has worked for an Albertson”s Distribution Center here in Oklahoma and keeps up with the companies info. They have been closing stores for years and majority of the central states are all closed or bought out by places like Homeland. Majority that are still open are on the east coast. But for me the information on this company is nothing new.
