Target launches new self-checkout policy

(CNN)– The days of being stuck behind someone with a cart full of items in the self-checkout line at Target are over.

The Minnesota-based retail giant has announced that customers will be limited to no more than ten items if they go through the self-checkout.

The change to express self-checkout goes into effect on Sunday at most of the chain’s two thousand stores nationwide.

Target says it piloted the express self-checkout option in 200 stores last year.

They found the checkout process was twice as fast in those stores.

Also, Target says it plans on opening more traditional lanes that are stuffed by employees.
