Supermarket Together: How To Build A Self-Checkout

In Supermarket Together, managing your store can be challenging, especially solo. This guide explains how to build and utilize self-checkout terminals to alleviate some of the pressure.

Building a Self-Checkout Terminal

Constructing a self-checkout is simple. Access the Builder Menu (usually by pressing Tab) and locate the self-checkout option. The cost is $2,500.

Is a Self-Checkout Worth It?

Self-checkout terminals function as expected, diverting customers from busy cashier lines. This reduces wait times and the risk of impatient customers leaving without paying. However, early-game investment might be better spent on stocking shelves or additional cashier counters (especially with multiplayer). Hiring employees to manage existing counters is also an option.

A significant drawback is the increased risk of shoplifting. More self-checkout terminals correlate with a higher likelihood of theft. Therefore, consider upgrading store security if you implement self-checkout.

Late-game, higher difficulty scenarios present increased customer volume, litter, and theft. Self-checkout can be a valuable tool to manage these challenges, particularly for solo players. Weigh the costs and benefits based on your playstyle and game progression.
