Viral Video Claims Walmart Now Charges for Self-Checkout: Is It True?
A recent social media video has sparked discussion among consumers regarding alleged changes to self-checkout policies at Walmart. In the video, a woman, identified as Madilynn Cameron, expresses frustration, claiming that she was informed she would need a paid membership to use self-checkout lanes after years of self-bagging her groceries. "I have been an employee for five years, I've been bagging my own stuff," Cameron stated in the video, adding, "I was not invited to the holiday parties, but you're telling me now, after five years of bagging my own things, that I have to pay to use self-checkout?" She further criticized Walmart for not accepting Apple Pay, questioning the company's operational decisions. While the video has garnered significant attention, Walmart has not officially announced any policy requiring a paid membership for basic self-checkout use. Existing membership programs, such as Walmart+, offer benefits like free delivery and fuel discounts, but are not typically presented as a prerequisite for using in-store self-checkout.
