Self-Check Out Only @ Lowes
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.

Re: Self-Check Out Only @ Lowes
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.

Re: Self-Check Out Only @ Lowes
Menards uses facial recognition and a known thief enters a store in the system the manager will receive an electronic notification.

Re: Self-Check Out Only @ Lowes
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.

Re: Self-Check Out Only @ Lowes
Known thieves at the store where my son works get close personal attention from more than one employee when they come into the store.

Re: Self-Check Out Only @ Lowes
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. |

Re: Self-Check Out Only @ Lowes

Re: Self-Check Out Only @ Lowes
All of the Dollar Generals stores around here have pulled their self check outs. Too much theft.

Re: Self-Check Out Only @ Lowes
I'm the a**hole here...when ever I'm told to use or made aware that self checkout is available my standard answer is "I don't use self checkout, hire someone".
Now if self checkout were programed to ring everything up at 10 or 15% discount/savings I might use it. |

Re: Self-Check Out Only @ Lowes
^ Right on! As for the theft angle, I notice that lately the clerks at the self check-out are far more attentive. I guess that feedback they ask for finally paid off. Either that, or those gals are flirting with me.
Or, more likely, they've seen big money walk out with self-scanning. Scan a pack of razor blades and cart out that DeWalt tool set, ftw! Easier than doing a grab and run...
