Supermarket Together: A Deep Dive into Self-Checkout Terminals
In Supermarket Together, managing your store's efficiency is key to success. While teamwork makes the dream work, solo players often face challenges, especially in later stages of higher difficulty settings. One solution to alleviate the pressure is the self-checkout terminal. This guide explains how to build and utilize this valuable asset.
How to Build a Self-Checkout Terminal
Building a self-checkout is simple. Access the Builder Menu (usually by pressing Tab) and locate the self-checkout option. Construction costs $2,500. While a significant investment, it's achievable with consistent gameplay.
Is a Self-Checkout Worth the Investment?
Self-checkout terminals function as expected, diverting customers from busy cashier lines. This reduces wait times and minimizes the risk of impatient customers leaving without paying. However, strategic investment is crucial. Early-game resources are better allocated to stocking shelves and expanding product lines. If playing with friends, multiple staffed checkout counters are more efficient initially. Hiring employees is another viable alternative to self-checkout.
The Downside of Self-Checkout
While self-checkout eases customer flow, it increases the risk of shoplifting. More self-checkout terminals correlate with a higher likelihood of theft. Therefore, investing in enhanced security measures is vital to protect profits.
Late-Game Strategy
As the game progresses, customer volume, trash accumulation, and theft attempts increase. Self-checkout terminals become invaluable tools for solo players navigating the challenges of higher difficulty levels and the late game. They provide a crucial buffer against overwhelming customer traffic. Remember to balance their benefits with the increased risk of theft.
