From the article:
"If you want to use the self-checkout lane at some Walmart stores, you might need to fork out $12.95 per month, or $98 per year, for a Walmart+ subscription. That’s because some Walmart stores are limiting some self-checkout lanes to Walmart+ subscribers and drivers of its Sparks delivery service."

It’s about control. Apparently, the idea to go full self-service got put on hold due to an increase in shop lifting.
I bet subscribers will have to enter their card first and that makes it easier to track down thieves.
