This week Target announced a new self-checkout policy that will impact all customers.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, the retail giant announced they would begin limiting the number of items a customer could purchase at a self-checkout lane. Previously, there was no limit, but now Target announced self-checkout lanes will be reserved for 10 items or less.<\/p>\n

In preparation for more people needing a regular cashier, the company said: \u201cWe\u2019re opening more traditional lanes staffed by our team members across all our stores for guests who have more in their Target carts, need a helping hand, or just enjoy connecting with our team to help them get on their way sooner.\u201d<\/p>\n

While store leaders will have the flexibility to open more lanes as needed, the express self-checkout \u201cwill be available during the busiest shopping times.\u201d<\/p>\n

A video on TikTok sparked rumors that Walmart might also be doing away with self-checkout, though the company has yet to respond.<\/p>\n
