Some Walmart employees say customers are getting hostile at self-checkout — and they blame anti-theft tech::When Walmart's anti-theft self-checkout tech alerts an employee of a missed scan, it can cause some uncomfortable situations.

I'll never understand why people like you care about a mega corporation's bottom line. The executives are still making billions, while keeping their employees as poor as they can get away with.

Target will survive without San Francisco. Even if they fail, the top dogs will just liquidate and take a fat paycheck home, enough for a 1000+ employees to retire and live off of for the rest of their lives, and they'll just pocket it all. Fuck 'em.

I don’t give a flying fuck about a megacorporation’s bottom line. Fuck Walmart. Fuck Target. I don’t disagree with a single thing you just said.

I just didn’t think it made any sense to say that they made an expensive change to their self-checkout just to “prove a point” about controlling people.

But apparently no one knows how to read. And once some of you saw downvotes you knew everything you needed to know about what I think.
