Legal News Magazine Asks Should Self-Checkout Consumers Form A Class Action Lawsuit?

Anyone who uses a Walmart self checkout is a total moron,”
LOS ANGELES, CA, USA, September 12, 2022/EINPresswire.com/ -- Legal News Magazine is pleased to reveal a new class action lawsuit recently filed in Superior Court in San Francisco, Sadlowski v. Albertsons, David J. Gallo, a California lawyer, thinks customers who use self-checkout are entitled to be paid for it. He recently filed a lawsuit contending that his client, a supermarket customer, and other California customers of the same supermarket chain, are entitled to wages for using the self-checkout option.— says Richard H. Davis, a consumer watchdog.
“While self-checkout lanes have been around for decades, they really came to prominence in the U.S. in the early 2000s. Now, most supermarkets as well as many other types of retailers have self-checkout. But what happens if you use self-checkout and you forget to ring-up an item? Unfortunately, forgetting to ring-up an item could lead to criminal charges,” says Jill K. Sanders, Esq. In addition, Carrie Jernigan, an Arkansas-based criminal defense Attorney warns against self-checkout, says stores prosecute false accusations and accidental theft. Her warning video received over 1.7 million views on TikTok.
Another class action lawsuit filed in California is alleging Walmart is forcing consumers to use Walmart’s self checkout. San Francisco resident Richard H. Davis, a consumer watchdog, has filed a class action antitrust case against Walmart alleging violations of the Antitrust Laws of the United States. Perhaps it’s no surprise that some people hate using self checkout machines vs. human cashiers. “Anyone who uses a Walmart self checkout is a total moron,” says Davis, “Walmart is forcing you to use their self checkout, period. They are tricking you into working at Wally-World as a de facto cashier for free!” Davis believes that self-checkouts profit Walmart $1.50 per transaction (this secret savings is not passed on to the Walmart consumer, whats-so-ever).
The complaint charges that Walmart gives preferential treatment to self-checkouts by limiting Walmart $15 dollar per hour cashiers serving customers. The complaint alleges that open transaction rates are higher than rates would be in a truly competitive system. “There is no way in hell, to protest this way of doing business inside of Walmart, management saying you have a free choice, of waiting in a long line or using the so-called quick self checkout.” noted Davis.
