BIG BOX STORES LIKE TARGET WALMART AND DOLLAR GENERAL ARE PUTTING NEW LIMITS ON SELF CHECKOUT AND IT HAS SO MANY PEOPLE TALKING, RIGHT? THAT'S RIGHT. FROM SELF-CHECKOUT PROS
TO MORE TRADITIONAL SHOPPERS.
SEEMS LIKE EVERYONE HAS AN OPINION ON THIS ONE.
>> SO WE SENT 7 ACTION NEWS REPORTER DARREN CUNNINGHAM TO SOUTHFIELD TO SEE WHAT SHOPPERS HAVE TO SAY.
>> THE SIGNS ARE UP AT TARGET IN SOUTHFIELD. YOU MUST HAVE 10 ITEMS OR FEWER. IF YOU'RE HEADED THROUGH THE SELF-CHECKOUT LANES, IF NOT, YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE
REGULAR CASHIER KEEP IT THE WAY IT IS. BECAUSE >> SOME PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO WAIT IN LINE SO CHECK OUT AND GO ABOUT OUR BUSINESS RESIDENT TO LIMIT TO HOW MANY PEOPLE,
HOW MANY THINGS THAT YOU COULD CHECK OUT BEING SOMEONE WHO USE IS SUBJECT. I WOULD ME.
>> AND IT IS KIND OF MEAN, I HAD TO SAY I WE'VE GOT THE CHECKOUT LANES. WOULD PEOPLE HAVE MORE THAN 10 ITEMS TO GO AHEAD AND DO THE ACT, YOU KNOW, TO SOUTH IT GIVES THE
PEOPLE THAT COMES IN AND THAT'S JUST REALLY COME IN THERE TO GET WHAT THEY NEED AND GET OUT.
>> YOU KNOW, TIME TO DO WHAT THEY NEED TO DO. AND THEN YOU HAVE THOSE WHO AVOID SELF-CHECKOUT AT ALL COSTS LIKE JUST DON'T BECAUSE LIKE WHEN YOU HAVE COUPONS AND YOU
OTHER DISCOUNTS, I NEVER KNOW WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO COME UP.
SAID ALWAYS USE.
>> THE REGULAR CHECKOUTS.
>> WILL THERE BE A CONCERN FOR YOU THAT MORE PEOPLE NOW WILL BE USING A REGULAR LANES BECAUSE OF THE LIMITS ON SELF CHECKOUT.
>> NOW, I THINK JOB SECURITY'S IMPORTANT. SO I ALWAYS USE.
>> THE REGULAR LAY. WALMART IS ALSO UPDATING ITS CHECKOUT POLICY. IN SOME INSTANCES, AN ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP MAY BE REQUIRED TO USE SOME SELF CHECKOUT LANES DURING PEAK
HOURS. BOTH TARGET AND WALMART SAY THE CHANGES MAY VARY DURING THE TIME OF DAY DEPENDING ON HOW BUSY THE STORIES TO ACCOMMODATE THE INCREASED FLOW OF CUSTOMERS
HEADED TO THE REGULAR CASHIER LANES. BOTH COMPANIES SAY THEY WILL INCREASE STAFF AND THOSE LANES AS NEEDED. WORK TO DO.
>> BECAUSE WHEN IT'S BUSY AS MANY WANT TO USE IT AND GET OUT, YOU DON'T WANT TO WAIT.
>> DOWN THE AISLE. SOME LIKE REITERATE A DESIRE FOR THE SELF-CHECKOUT SYSTEM TO BE LEFT ALONE. IF WE HAD RATHER NOT WHAT HE SAID, THAT HIS TV PROGRAM, HOUSING.
