Walmart is scaling back on its self-checkout machines at two stores, as more retail giants are reducing the self-service option at their stores, citing an effort to combat theft. A Walmart in a suburb of St. Louis, Mo, recently began removing self-checkout machines, CBS News reported on Friday. Another location in Cleveland also did earlier this month. The retail giant pointed Fox News Digital to a statement to the media.
The company announced last month it is set to remove the self-checkout option from 300 stores experiencing the biggest loss of merchandise. Dollar General, in addition to providing an assisted checkout option, is also limiting self-checkout to transactions consisting of five items or fewer. Fox News' Aislinn Murphy and Danielle Genovese contributed to this report.
