Target Sets New 10-Item Limit for Self-Checkout to Speed Up Lines

• Target launching new self-checkout policy on March 17 that restricts self-checkout to 10 items or less • Policy tested at 200 stores last year and made self-checkout twice as fast • Going chainwide to most of Target's nearly 2,000 stores • Opening more full-service cashier lanes for those with more items or needing help • Comes as retailers balance labor savings vs slower service and more losses with self-checkout
