In Supermarket Together, managing a bustling store solo can be challenging. This guide focuses on self-checkout terminals, a helpful tool for easing the workload.
Building a self-checkout is simple. Access the Builder Menu (press Tab) and locate the self-checkout option. Construction costs $2,500.
Self-checkout terminals alleviate pressure on staffed registers, reducing customer wait times and the risk of shoplifting due to long queues. However, early-game investment might be better directed towards stocking shelves or hiring employees for multiple registers, especially with friends assisting.
Self-checkout terminals also have a downside: they increase the likelihood of theft. Therefore, boosting store security is crucial when implementing self-checkout.
Later stages of the game, particularly on higher difficulty settings, see increased customer traffic, more litter, and more shoplifters. Self-checkout terminals offer valuable assistance in these situations. Weigh the costs and benefits based on your gameplay style and difficulty level.
