My son works at one, and he hasn't said anything about changes in the self checkout. It may be rolling out a few stores at a time, though.

I keep trying to tell people that there's no such thing as "AI", and what people are calling "AI" is nothing but junk, stealing everything it knows from somewhere else. Eventually, I'll be proven right, but all I can do now is avoid it as much as possible.
