Self-Checkout Supermarkets: A Guide to Automated Shopping

By RileyJan 18,2025

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

How to Build 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.

Is a Self-Checkout Worth It?

Self-checkout terminals function as expected, diverting customers from busy cashier lines. This reduces wait times and minimizes the risk of impatient customers leaving without paying.

However, early-game investment may be better directed towards stocking shelves or hiring employees for traditional checkout counters, especially with multiplayer assistance. Self-checkout terminals increase the risk of shoplifting. The more you have, the higher the chance of robberies. Therefore, consider security upgrades alongside self-checkout implementation.

Late-game, especially on higher difficulty settings, the increased customer traffic, litter, and shoplifting make self-checkout a valuable tool for solo players. It offers a helpful balance between customer service and risk management. Remember to bolster security measures to mitigate the increased theft risk.
