Archived Self Checkout

[bobbyy1000]

Is Target adding self checkouts to some of their stores? I heard a while ago that Target is adding self checkouts to certain stores but is there a way to find out when and which stores will be adding this? Is there a way to find out in workbench?

There was some testing done on that at certain stores last year. The last report was it not very good, from A user here who was a test store. Other retailers are dropping self checkout lanes too.

Thank god, most people in general were too stupid to even know how to use them properly in the first place as well. And I just grew to hate that woman's voice as she screamed out that the item needed to be put in the bagging area.

Every store I went to that used self-checks always had to have someone on hand to fix problems.
And there were ALWAYS problems.

At least one store in my District has them. I don't see how this is a good idea, considering the amount of shortage it would cause. Grocery stores can get away with it because they don't have anything worth more than $20 (except certain alcohol). It also wouldn't decrease lines at the checklanes, considering most guests can't figure out where to swipe their card on the normal card readers. :wacko:

Is there a way to find out if there are any stores testing self checkouts in the Northern California region?
