Self-Checkout Crackdown Spreads Across U.S. With 15-Item Caps, New Staffing Rules
U.S. cities and states are advancing limits on self-checkout, with Long Beach and Costa Mesa enforcing new rules and measures pending in New York City, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Ohio. Connecticut’s bill failed last week. Target now restricts self-checkout to 10 items at most stores, reporting faster transactions. Proposed laws include item caps, staffing ratios, and fines for violations.
