Can you guess the real reason why they are doing that?

They can't compete with the Indian Reservations.

@eli1601 nope not that ,most people don’t go to Indian reservations to buy cigarettes here. They are a big seller at all convenience stores.

@eli1601 they want even more self-checks and are doing away with them in those states to meet that goal, maybe all self-checks in the stores

@cherokeepatti The Walmart we used to go to remodeled and now they have only two checkouts with a cashier and about thirty self checkouts so I think it will eventually be everywhere. Even Costco has some self checkouts now.

@eli1601 I think they remodel each store every 7 or so years. They did the one I quit a year or so later and have remodeled it once again since then. I quite in 2012. And this last time they remodeled they put in two large self-check areas on each end of the cash register area up front. I think they have 3 20 items or less registers that mostly run during the rush times, and one cash register that they sell cigarettes and tobacco from. And a cashier in electronics and another in lawn & garden but it’s iffy sometimes with those two.
