Self-checkout wars escalate as Walmart, Kroger and Target are hit by new rules
Hate self-checkouts? Good news if you live in California, where lawmakers are voting on rules to rein in the machines. Self-checkout lanes have become a familiar feature in stores like Walmart, Target, Safeway, and Kroger, promising faster checkout and fewer lines. Shoppers complain about glitches, confusing screens, and long waits when things go wrong. Workers worry about job losses as more stores replace cashiers with machines. And retailers are battling rising theft — studies show self-checkouts lose 16 times more product than staffed lanes, costing food stores billions every year. Now, a new California law could force big retailers to keep at least one staffed register open as an alternative to self-checkout. It would also limit shoppers to 15 items per visit at these machines — and stores would have to post those limits clearly. The law, Senate Bill 442, is currently being reviewed by state legislators. The rules aim to protect shoppers who often only have one nearby store, as a result of closures and mergers, and must accept its checkout policies. 'Retailers have increasingly implemented automated checkout to drastically cut staffing and reduce labor costs,' the bill states. 'Self-checkout and the reduction in frontline grocery workers have created a range of problems for retailers, workers, and the public.' Introduced by Senator Lola Smallwood-Cuevas, the bill points out that some stores have removed human cashiers entirely. Lawmakers supporting the bill argue that retailers moan about the rise in theft but much of it has been self-inflicted with the introduction of self-checkouts. In 2022, self-checkout made up less than one in three transactions but cost food retailers over $10 billion in lost profits, the bill says. Target has already imposed a ten-item limit to try and reduce lengthy lines that can build up in store. The retail giant is also now quietly pulling self-checkout stations from more stores as concerns over theft mount. Grocery stores have used self-checkouts to cut down on staff leaving other employees overworked, according to the bill Kroger is among the supermarkets that will have to alter their self-checkout policies Last year, Walmart removed self-checkouts from a selection of stores and replaced them with traditional manned lanes. In April Sam's Club followed suit axing all self-checkouts from its 600 stores — in favor of controversial new technology. Instead the Walmart-owned warehouse chain is rolling out AI-powered 'Scan & Go' tech that lets shoppers skip the line and walk straight out the door once they're done shopping. The move is controversial because it uses a network of cameras and sensors to track shoppers and their carts. The new tech is now being rolled out in Costco to speed up the checkout experience there too. Costco's CEO, Ron Vachris, confirmed the update in the company's second quarter earnings call.
