Weird. I generally don’t mind self-checkout but Walmart’s showing you a video of yourself so you can check yourself out while you’re checking out yourself kinda creeps me out. And I don’t even use the self checkout to steal.
Comment on Walmart, Costco and other companies rethink self-checkout, some stores removing them

Walmarts’s self checkout is the only one in my area that doesn’t frustrate the hell out of me. I’ve stopped going to certain other stores simply because I don’t like their self checkout system.

The Walmart self-checkout near me doesn’t use the weight sensors, they’re turned off. It makes checking out much easier. Also, they flow better, for instance, at Lowe’s, you need to specifically press the “Pay Now” button to pay, but at Walmart you can just shove your card in when you’re done scanning, and it starts the checkout process. At Lowe’s you must choose between the print or email receipt, but at Walmart you can let the question time-out while you put the groceries back in the cart, and it will print the receipt. The Smith’s self-checkout is even more clunky, and very chatty. I don’t like it.
There are plenty of reasons to hate Walmart, but IMO, their self-checkout works better than the others I’ve tried.

Walmart wants to do some sort of facial recognition shit at their self-checkouts, I noped the fuck out of that and go to their clerks now.

I stopped taking my phone out at WalMart after I learned that their security cameras are so good that they can zoom in on your phone and read your text messages.
