In Supermarket Together, you're in charge of a bustling store, juggling everything from checkout to restocking. Solo play, especially at higher difficulties, can quickly become overwhelming. While hiring employees helps, a self-checkout system can significantly ease the pressure. This guide explains how to build and utilize self-checkout terminals.
Building a self-checkout is simple. Access the Builder Menu (press Tab) and locate the self-checkout option. It costs $2,500.
Self-checkout terminals function as expected: customers use them when regular checkouts are busy, reducing lines and impatient customers. However, remember that long checkout times can lead to theft.
The early game might prioritize stocking shelves and using the franchise board over immediate self-checkout investment. With friends, multiple staffed checkouts are a better early-game strategy. Hiring employees to manage regular checkouts is also an option.
While beneficial for solo players, self-checkout increases the risk of theft. More self-checkout terminals mean a higher chance of shoplifting. Invest in enhanced security measures if you utilize this feature.
Late-game, higher-difficulty scenarios become significantly more demanding with increased customer traffic, litter, and theft. Self-checkout terminals provide valuable assistance during these challenging periods.
