So, I take the bride over to Walmart (which I hate shopping at) to pick up a few things. We noticed that all the self check out lanes were closed and all cashier lanes were open. We inquired to our cashier why the change. She informed us that in the last year they lost (shrinkage) over 3 million dollars and the new store stopped all self check out. Who'd of thunk??

On the one store? At about $60K cost per employee that'd be 40-50.........full timer's......cover a lot of front end help with that..... But.....is the real cost per employee $60.......and could the $3M shrink be eliminated? So let's be realistic.....they might get the shrink down to $750K as much of it would not be happening at the register......and the actual cost of a employee might be $75K.....so 10.......and they break even..... Hard math to do when you have to toss in the psychology of it all.

Haven't shopped at Walmart in a very very long time. Over 2 decades. 3 million a year is pretty light but will get your attention

I was told it was just that store. Cutting service is a dumb and costly thing to do IHHYEO and they payed the price.
Another time we saw a cart overflowing with products and just sitting there and asked a clerk what was the issue. They caught a couple shoplifting and had them arrested.

I know a lot of people put down Walmart because of the Chinese connection but if you look at the lables on products from other stores most of their products are from China also. It's something that is very difficult to avoid.

I try to avoid Wal Mart as much as possible. The only plus to going is leggings and yoga pants. My GF told me when she was there earlier this week the group in front of her scanned about 4 items and left with a full cart

A good friend asked me to smoke about 10 briskets for him. He said Kroger has packers on sale for $2.99. I head there and load up a shopping cart. I go through self checkout and pay. O hit the first set of double doors and it feels like my cart is glued to the the floor. I look around and can't figure it out. I can lift the front wheels or the back wheels but not both. Then a lady comes by to check my receipt and apologized. She said the store installed magnets in the floor to stop theft
