In Supermarket Together, you're in charge of a bustling store, juggling everything from the till to restocking. While teamwork makes the dream work, solo players, especially on harder difficulties, can find the late game overwhelming, even with hired help. A self-checkout system can significantly ease the pressure. Here's how to build and utilize one.
Building 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, a manageable sum with efficient money-making strategies.
Is a Self-Checkout Worth It?
Self-checkouts function as expected: they alleviate cashier congestion, reducing customer wait times and the risk of impatient shoppers becoming shoplifters. However, early-game investment might be better directed towards stocking shelves or additional checkout counters (if playing with friends). Hiring employees to manage existing counters is also an option.
While helpful for solo players, self-checkouts increase the risk of theft. More self-checkouts mean a higher likelihood of robberies. Boosting store security is crucial to protect your profits.
Late-game challenges, particularly on higher difficulty settings, involve increased customer volume, more litter, and more shoplifting attempts. Self-checkouts provide valuable assistance during these demanding periods.
