Walmart is replacing cashiers at its Terrace store with self-serve checkouts this summer, making it a test project along with a select number of other outlets in Canada.

In an emailed statement to The Terrace Standard, Walmart Canada said its Terrace store was selected as a test location because a large number of customers were using self-checkouts.

91裸聊视频淥ur customers have embraced self-checkouts as they91裸聊视频檝e rolled out across the country over the past few years,91裸聊视频� she added.

But while Walmart will eliminate cashier positions here that don91裸聊视频檛 necessarily mean an overall job loss, the corporation said.

91裸聊视频淥ver the years we91裸聊视频檝e heard concerns that self-checkouts will impact jobs but that91裸聊视频檚 simply not the case. The self-checkout area will be staffed by dedicated associates to help our customers and there will be no job loss as a result of this change,91裸聊视频� said Fefer.

She said 40 more people will be hired in the coming months in the Terrace branch as it prepares to launch an online grocery purchase option.
