A self-checkout station at Walmart
Walmart says removing self-checkout at some locations is aimed at improving the in-store experience.
  • Walmart Supercenters in St. Louis, Missouri, and Cleveland, Ohio, are removing self-checkout.
  • The change follows a similar move last year at three locations in New Mexico.
  • Major retailers have taken other steps to address some of the problems raised by self-service tech.

A pair of Walmarts — one in Missouri and one in Oho — are ditching self-checkout lanes in an effort to improve the in-store experience.

The company confirmed the decisions to Business Insider in a statement, saying the changeover processes at the Cleveland Steelyard location and a St. Louis-area Supercenter take place after hours and will be completed in about two weeks.
