Target to Limit Self-Checkout Purchases to 10 Items Per Customer

Target will limit self-checkout to 10 items per customer starting Sunday, aiming to improve and speed up the process.

The change comes as Target and other retailers struggle with increased organized retail theft and concerns about self-checkout technology.

Target piloted the 10 item limit in 200 stores last fall before expanding it chainwide based on positive customer feedback.

The policy shift follows complaints about self-checkout issues and safety concerns that led Target to close some stores last year.

Other retailers like Walmart have also been adjusting self-checkout availability to manage customer flow and checkout efficiency.
