打造无收银员超市：自结账指南

In Supermarket Together, you're the store manager, responsible for smooth operations. But solo play can quickly become overwhelming, juggling cashier duties, restocking, and ordering. While teamwork simplifies things, solo players, especially on harder difficulties, might struggle even with hired help in the late game. A self-checkout system can significantly ease this burden. Here's how to implement it.

How to Install Self-Checkout Terminals

Adding a self-checkout terminal is simple. Access the Builder Menu (press Tab) and locate the self-checkout option. Construction costs $2,500, a manageable investment given the game's various income streams.

Is a Self-Checkout System Worth the Investment?

Self-checkout terminals function as expected: They alleviate congestion at the main cashier, reducing customer wait times and the risk of impatient customers leaving without paying.

However, early-game prioritization is key. Investing in new products from the Franchise Board and stocking shelves might yield better returns initially. If you have friends playing, multiple staffed checkout counters are more efficient than a self-checkout early on. Hiring employees to man existing counters is another viable early-game strategy.

Self-checkout does present a trade-off: increased shoplifting. More self-checkout terminals correlate with a higher likelihood of theft. Therefore, bolstering store security is crucial when implementing this system.

Late-game, higher difficulty scenarios become significantly more demanding, with increased customer traffic, litter, and theft. Self-checkout terminals offer a valuable solution to manage these challenges in Supermarket Together.
