GTA Shoppers Needed on Self-Checkout Closures-Toronto Star

Self-checkout closures in the GTA Hi everyone, this is Estella, and I’m a business reporter with the Toronto Star working on a story about retailers scaling back or removing self-checkouts and exploring the reasons behind it (theft seems like a likely factor). Are you noticing more retailers closing self-checkouts in the GTA in 2025? I’m hoping to hear directly from shoppers about what you’re seeing. Please feel free to send me a message if you’ve experienced this at your local grocery or retail store and are open to chatting. Personal stories about self-checkouts are also welcome. Thank you very much!
