Strange, quite the opposite experience here in Canada.
Our biggest pharmacy (Shoppers Drug Mart) and dollar store (Dollarama) both with thousands of stores are going to be deploying self-checkouts soon. Various grocery stores and big box stores all over the city already have it.
Ikea only has 2 stores in the area so even if they remove it it won't be that noticeable in terms of deployment...
It may be Imea is trying more of a customer service thing for certain stores ala Amazon's focus on human interactions vs actual ROI or popularity.
