In Supermarket Together, managing your store efficiently is key to success. While initially solo play might seem manageable, the later stages, especially on higher difficulty settings, can become overwhelming. This is where the self-checkout terminal comes in handy.
How to Build a Self-Checkout
Constructing a self-checkout is simple. Access the Builder Menu (press Tab) and locate the self-checkout option. It costs $2,500. While a worthwhile investment, consider your priorities.
Is a Self-Checkout Worth It?
Self-checkout terminals alleviate pressure on your main checkout counters, reducing customer wait times and minimizing the risk of shoplifting from impatient customers. However, early game funds are best spent on stocking shelves and expanding your product range. If you have friends playing co-op, additional checkout counters staffed by players are a more efficient early-game strategy. Hiring employees is also an option.
A significant drawback is the increased risk of theft. More self-checkout stations attract more shoplifters. Therefore, prioritize security upgrades alongside self-checkout installations.
Late-game challenges, particularly on higher difficulty, include increased customer volume, more litter, and a higher incidence of theft. Self-checkout terminals provide valuable assistance in these demanding scenarios. They're a strategic investment to ease the burden of solo play in the later stages of Supermarket Together.
