Dollar General is taking drastic steps to end the retail theft that has been plaguing its stores across the nation.
The company is planning to remove specific items that thieves regularly grab. In addition, CEO Todd Vasos said the company is shifting away from self-checkouts, Fox Business reported Tuesday.
“As part of its plan, the chief executive said the company converted approximately 3,000 additional stores away from self-checkout in May, totaling 12,000 total locations that have been converted since the beginning of the fiscal year,” the outlet stated. more
These stores are very poorly run. Usually only one employee there, and he’s go to check people out, stock shelves and unload trucks while keeping an eye out for shoplifters!?!
I think WalMart started the self checkout thing because they wanted the customers to work for them for free. They underestimated how larcenous many in the country are. The parasites who live on welfare take what they can get for free and steal anything they can. They’re taught that as small children.
I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore…
The USA was built on honesty and morality (the people’s not politicians)…..don’t got that nomo.
How low can you go on the shop lifting scale? A neighbor, Madame Curdled Milk Face, used to brag about stealing from thrift stores. She’s dead now or she would still be at it.
There is a lot that we don’t got nomo…
Here is something from the 50s called The Miracle Of America Booklet from 1950

It’s not a video, it is a slide show that you click to advance thru.
I stop in these stories often. Yes, the self check is now only run by a store shelf replenish employee when the normal checkout person is backed up, not the customers. I like the store because I don’t like jammed stores and check outs with 200-300 dollar buyers clogging the lines. The self checkouts sure looked like they could be tricked without much trouble.
dollar stores are good for
small towns with little or
no commerce
the sad part is most people think the stores eat the losses. They don’t if they can. They should and must be passed on to the other consumers for the business to stay in business. Store thieves should be severely punished as they are stealing from us. AS for me I try never to use the self checkout. 1 for me a former cashier its like working off the clock. 2 I want the lines to back up so maybe they will hire more real people. Just a couple of many reasons not to.
Good. I can’t stand self checkout. Living in a rural area, there are times the Dollar General Market comes in handy…it’s too far to just go to a Publix or Winn Dixie for a quick run to the store. Plus, their gas prices are usually the lowest in town.
