Target is making changes to its checkouts starting this weekend, with plans to limit the number of items customers may buy in the self-checkout lanes.
The Minneapolis-based retailer, which has nearly 2,000 stores across the United States, says it will start using an "express self-checkout" format on Sunday, March 17. In these lanes, customers must have 10 items for fewer.
Target says it's making this and other changes to the checkouts based on customer feedback, noting the retailer piloted the concept of express self-checkout with limits of 10 items or fewer at about 200 stores last fall, finding it was twice as fast. The hope is the following changes starting March 17 will make the checkout "more enjoyable,' Target said.
