Frustrated Walmart customers have taken to social media to share their annoyances as the retail superstore continues to disappoint. Walmart has implemented frustrating new rules to its self-checkout experience that have some customers near tears. Under the new rules, many Walmart locations are reserving self-checkout machines for Walmart+ subscribers, leaving shoppers who don’t pay for the membership to default to the cashier lines. The problem with that is that many Walmart locations only. have one or two cashiers open at any given time. In addition to a fewer number of self-checkout machines, the store has begun enforcing a limit on the number of items shoppers can scan at the self-checkout kiosks. Some stores allow 15 items or less, while others are scaling back to 10 or fewer. Self-checkout woes aren’t the only turn-off plaguing Walmart customers. Another angry shopper left his full cart at the checkout counter after realizing the retailer no longer carries his preferred payment method, Apple Pay. Instead, the retailer is forcing people to use Walmart Pay, which can only be accessed within the Walmart app. Some say these are just more nails in the chain store's coffin.
