Self-checkout was a boon because reduced wages to process customers (in theory).
Now they have an even better mechanism to push: delivery and pickup. Keep the customers away from the merchandise except what they have already paid for. Wal-Mart pushing the promise of free delivery under 22 minutes when I go to check if they have something in-store.

It’s only free until they hook you.

I don’t think they even advertise it as free, if they are it should be illegal/made illegal as it is only with the purchase of their subscription services.
