Our local big box hardware stores permanently closed self checkout lanes in all the minority areas of town.

Our local big box hardware store has shut down all regular checkout lanes. And swapped everything to self-checkout. It's a fucking nightmare. There's only 4 lanes, and 1-2 of the comps are always out of service.

Ours only has two cashiers open, so each line is always 10-15 deep.
