Amanda Carroll+FollowTarget’s Self-Checkout Drama: What’s Up?Ever get stuck in a long Target checkout line and wonder why? You’re not alone! After a shopper called them out online for slow self-checkouts and closed cashier lanes, Target promised to speed things up. They recently set a 10-item limit at self-checkout to cut down on theft and errors, but shoppers say it’s just making lines longer. Some stores are even letting full carts through, which isn’t helping. The takeaway? Next time you shop, keep your cart light—or try the new Scan & Go tech popping up at other stores for a quicker exit! #TargetTalk #RetailHacks #CheckoutWoes #Shopping00Share
