Self-Check Out Only @ Lowes - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Getter-Done** · Today, 03:09 PM

Well, it has finally made it to my town.

Has anyone noticed this in your town?

I have noticed this year that Lowes was trying to go Exclusively to self-checkout in other states.

That will probably cause Home Depot to get more business.

I normally shop a Home Depot near me.

I shop there because they have more of what I need.

Now if I go to the other stores that are farther away,
Lowes is the better choice.

They cater to that Localization stuff .

We have 2 Great Family type lumber/ Building stores in the area.

They will get more business also.

Pain in the neck, but the contractor register is still open at the LOWEs near me. I was getting pretty frustrated with the ID reader for the veteran discount requiring a store employee every time. That seems to be ironed on most (?) of the self-help registers. We've had them something like 6 months or so.

Menards uses facial recognition and a known thief enters a store in the system the manager will receive an electronic notification.

I haven't been to Lowes in over 2 years. I go to home Depot or Menards even though they are 20 minutes away vs Lowe's that's 5 minutes away. Lowes employees don't seem trained very well and their prices are a lot higher. I had the same issues in North Carolina as well. Home Depot has self checkout but Menards doesn't. I'll use whichever is faster.

Known thieves at the store where my son works get close personal attention from more than one employee when they come into the store.

A lot of places are going the other way and taking out self checkout lanes due to self checkout having high theft rates. Seems paying a human minimum wage to check stuff costs less then the theft losses.

For a lot of things, self checkout can be faster but only if you don't have some of those age verification required items. Also clearance items aren't always entered into the computer.

i avoid self checkout if that is all they will offer , they dont need my money.. i prefer to go to Mom n Pop stores anyhow.. and the funny thing is the lumber is cheaper and straighter

**mongocanfly** · Today, 08:02 PM

Our Lowes has been self check up front for over a yr now..but I always use the contractors end..they still have a person there

All of the Dollar Generals stores around here have pulled their self check outs. Too much theft.
