In Supermarket Together, managing a bustling store solo can be challenging. This guide explains how to build and utilize self-checkout terminals to alleviate the pressure.
Building a Self-Checkout
Constructing a self-checkout is simple. Access the Builder Menu (press Tab) and locate the self-checkout option. The terminal costs $2,500. While a worthwhile investment, prioritize stocking and franchise upgrades early on.
Is a Self-Checkout Worth It?
Self-checkouts efficiently manage customer flow, reducing wait times and minimizing the risk of impatient customers leaving without paying. However, they do increase the risk of shoplifting. In the early game, consider additional cashiers or employee hires before investing in self-checkouts.
The Trade-Offs
While self-checkouts ease the burden, especially in solo play and higher difficulty settings, they increase the likelihood of theft. Therefore, enhance store security if you implement them. The late-game influx of customers, trash, and thieves makes self-checkouts a valuable tool for managing the chaos. Weigh the benefits against the increased security needs before adding them to your store.
