As more stores add self-checkout options, Dollar General is among the companies removing them.
The discount retailer announced that it is pulling the self-checkout registers from 300 stores. The locations have the highest levels of shoplifting, CNN reported.
Some or all self-checkouts at about 9,000 other stores are being changed to regular checkouts manned by cashiers, while 4,500 stores will have self-checkouts limited to purchases of five or fewer items.
Fox Business reported that Dollar General has self-checkouts in more than 14,000 locations.
Target announced last week that it will be adjusting its self-checkout lines. The stores will limit purchases to 10 items or fewer and will be adding traditional lanes with cashiers.
