The self-checkout controversy continues to follow Walmart.

Customers are struggling to deal with what they call unbearably long lines, hard-to-deal with servers, accusations of theft and more.

But when it comes time to quickly check out some items, it’s self-checkout they want to use.

“@Walmart if you don’t open ALL the self checkout stations I will keep filling my cart and abandoning it for you to throw away,” he barked a client on X, the site formerly known as Twitter.

“You made a very bad assessment and you will pay dearly for it”, they continued.

Since Walmart began reserving certain self-checkout lanes for Walmart+ members, regular customers have expressed feelings of neglect.

“I’m sure they thought the idea of ​​Walmart Plus members receiving [to] using self-service checkout is great… isn’t it”, a user he wrote.

“I’m currently in the store… there [are two] vacancies available in self-service [for] them, while the other 15 registrations are open with up to 7 to 8 waiting in each queue,” they continued.

Another customer claims his Walmart in Marysville, California is “randomly turning off” self-checkout.

He he wrote that the lines were created “for no reason” due to the lack of open roads.

One shopper was burned by local Walmart’s back-and-forth decisions about self-checkout.

“My local Walmart temporarily closed theirs and immediately opened all but four lanes every day,” they wrote in a publish.

“Now that self-checkout is back up and running, they have 2 registers open at MAX. It’s a joke.”

Walmart did not respond to customers who mentioned the retailer in posts on X.

The US Sun has reached out to Walmart for comment.
