Walmart is testing self-checkout kiosks instead of cashiers in some stores. This allows customers to scan and bag their purchases independently. The goal is to speed up checkout times. Walmart hopes this will shorten lines and give customers more control. Employees will still be available to assist those who need help. If successful, Walmart may expand this to more stores.
The retailer is also introducing new technologies like automated checkout and inventory robots. The plan is to improve efficiency without eliminating jobs. Walmart is keeping cashiers while making the shopping experience easier for customers and employees.
Self-Checkouts vs. Cashiers at Walmart
Is Walmart going to get rid of self-checkouts?
No, Walmart is not getting rid of self-checkouts. Instead, Walmart is keeping cashiers while making the experience easier for customers and employees.
Why is Walmart bringing back cashiers?
Walmart is not getting rid of cashiers. The company continues to offer both self-checkout kiosks and cashier-assisted lanes.
Walmart provides cash back on purchases when using a debit card. The cashback ranges from $20 to $100. Cashback is collected at self-checkout or regular registers, with a maximum of three times daily.
Yes, Walmart saves money with cashier-less checkouts, but the primary reason is faster checkout times, more choice for customers and more control over their shopping experience.
How to Get Cash Back
To get cash back at Walmart, use a debit card and select cash back when prompted. You can get $20 to $100 in multiples of $20. The money is withdrawn when you make your purchase. Then the cashier or self-checkout machine dispenses the cash. You can also use Walmart credit cards, personal checks up to $20, and Discover cards up to $120.
