Tasks this bears on

Where this applies

The retailer's own account of its checkout changes. It says that in March 2024 it rolled out express self-checkout lanes limited to 10 items or fewer at most of its nearly 2,000 US stores, opened more traditional lanes staffed by its team for full carts — more than 25,600 nationwide — and reports transaction times improving by nearly 8%. It is the company's own promotional account and gives no staffing change.

What this means

What it does not yet show
