self checkout

I used it today and it went through fine and I payed with cash. I wasn’t asked to show Id or anything so I was just wondering if this was acceptable.

I'm scheduled for sco next week. My main area is flexible fulfilment, sfs & opu. I'm barely register trained. I have about 2 days of guest service training from Christmas to help them out. I've only been on the register once for back up. How does sco work? Do I just stand there and make sure no...

Well, hello all. Long time lurker here. I've been at Self check out lately and the hardest part for me has been how to politely approach guests at SCO to check the purses/suitcases/etc that they're buying. I try to be polite about it, but occasionally I will get a guest who is very upset...

Obviously when you are watching self checkout you need to watch for red lights, greet guests, and direct them to available machines, but what else should you do to be a great "self checkout ambassador"? Any tips watching for theft and how to handle it if a situation arises? What about talking...

We are scheduled to get SCO in the early spring. I do c/o occasionally. Anyone tell me the start funds amount?

First off, I have a confession. Know that SNL Target lady? Well, I KINDA related to her, um, enthusiasm. I'm in my 3rd year, and when I first started, I got the biggest kick out of this job. I worked in corporate for years, so being able to just help people who loved shopping at Target was...

Hi all, I’m a Target newb, just about to hit my one month mark. I was hired as a cashier (EA if someone important asks) and have been pretty extensively trained for guest services. Since I’ve been hired I’ve pretty much been scheduled on SCO every shift. I get a lot of hours so I’m not...

Hello to all my fellow teammates. It's my first year working on Self Checkout during the holidays, and I am terrified. It gets a little overwhelming because my store places equal importance on Red Cards AND Loss Prevention. That being said I usually get at least one RC per shift on Self...

From cashier to SCO, I've dealt with too many assholes who think they can get away with stealing from my store. My Target store is a two-story building with two levels. We have a total of 16 self-checkout machines (8 on each level) with a TM scheduled there for opening and closing shifts (we're...

Does anyone doing SCO have trouble with the machines thinking they have more coins in them than in reality? This being said, I always try to check the coins visually and refill them once a shift, but its not always possible during weekends and other busy days. Obviously running out of pennies...

When there is downtime, I like to walk around my register and clean the barcode scanner glass, the check-writing platform where the credit card machine sits, the glossy plastic surface facing the customer, the belt, and the bed where the bagged items go for the customer to pick up. I was...

................

a few questions i came across - when working self-checkout when someone tries to use a coupon, there screen tells them a team member is coming to pick up the coupon, when i come over, after i collect it, going into store mode the screen says to enter MRE for coupon, what is that? no one was...

We now must have both SCOs open from open till close. That means we often have no checklanes open at all. Since we're a high volume super the guests aren't happy. The SCO TM isn't supposed to let any guests walk past the SCO. If the guests don't want to use the SCO the TM is supposed to offer to...

Anyone here get the new SCO that they’re putting in ULV stores and replaceing the express registers? They look weird and I’ve heard some bad things about them.

Anyone notice that there SCO when you go to store mode it gives you GSTL keys?

Anyone know anything about pedestal checkout? Heard somwthing about getting rid of conveyor belts and having a platform instead? Im really confused on how this is a good idea O_o

I went into my local Target today and noticed they had monitors over each self service checkout station. I wonder why Target did that?

I'm not scheduled to do self checkout at all next week but I had to do it yesterday and got onto a few times for not "talking to the guests". I told every single one of them "Have a good night" but I'm guessing they want me to personally go up to them and ask how their day was. I have no problem...
