Primark shoppers divided as more self-service checkouts added to stores

Primark has introduced self-checkouts to cut down the time customers will have to queue for. But not everybody is impressed with the retailer, with some critics claiming it will encourage thefts from the store, despite the fact the stores have visible security.

Samirah, aka @samirahhxoxo posted a video saying her Primark was 'bougee', meaning fancy, for having the self-checkout option. In the short clip, people can be seen scanning their own items and putting them into Primark's trademark bags, much like you would at a supermarket self-checkout.

Then, as reported by the Mirror, they leave through security doors, monitored by a Primark employee. In another clip she posted, a sign can be seen which read: "Please use your receipt to EXIT."
