In Supermarket Together, you're in charge of a bustling store, juggling everything from the till to restocking. Solo play, especially on harder difficulties, can become overwhelming later in the game, even with hired staff. A self-checkout system offers a solution. This guide explains how to build and whether it's worthwhile.
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. While a significant investment early on, it's manageable with smart money management.
Is a Self-Checkout Worth It?
Self-checkouts alleviate pressure on staffed counters, reducing customer wait times and the risk of impatient customers leaving without paying. However, early game funds are better spent on stocking shelves and unlocking new products. With friends, multiple staffed counters are more efficient. Hiring employees to man tills is another viable option.
The downside? Increased shoplifting. More self-checkouts mean a higher chance of theft. Prioritize security upgrades if you implement self-checkout to protect your profits.
Late-game challenges, particularly on higher difficulties, involve increased customer volume, more litter, and more theft. Self-checkouts provide a valuable tool to manage this increased workload in Supermarket Together.
