In Supermarket Together, you're in charge of a bustling store, juggling everything from checkout to restocking. Solo play, especially at higher difficulties, can become overwhelming. While hiring employees helps, a self-checkout system can significantly ease the pressure. This guide explains how to build and utilize this crucial addition.

How to Build a Self-Checkout

Building a self-checkout is simple. Access the Builder Menu (press Tab) and locate the self-checkout option. Construction costs $2,500, a manageable sum with efficient early-game strategies.

Is a Self-Checkout Worth It?

Self-checkouts 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.

Early game, prioritizing new products and stocking shelves might be wiser than immediately investing in self-checkouts, especially with friends helping. Hiring employees for regular counters is another viable early-game strategy.

While helpful for solo players, self-checkouts increase the risk of shoplifting. More self-checkouts mean a higher chance of robberies. Therefore, improve store security if you add them.

Late-game challenges, particularly at higher difficulty levels, include increased customer volume, more trash, and more thieves. Self-checkouts become invaluable tools for managing this increased workload in Supermarket Together.
