Walmart is removing more self-checkout lanes from store locations including Shrewsbury, Missouri, Cleveland, Ohio and Albuquerque, New Mexico, according to a Daily Express U.S. report.
Retailers are reducing self-checkouts due to an increase in shoplifting.
"Theft rates at self-checkouts are reasonably high both because of deliberate actions and accidental mistakes. Forcing more customers to use manned checkouts resolves a lot of these issues and saves retailers money," Niel Saunders, managing director of GlobalData, told the news outlet.
The news comes on the heels of Dollar General pulling self-checkout lanes from 300 locations due to retail theft.
