The change, set to go into effect at most of Target's nearly 2,000 stores nationwide, comes as the company expands traditional checkout lanes and cites shifting consumer patterns. This move also coincides with Target's struggle against organized retail crime, with other retailers like Walmart also adjusting their self-checkout options in response to customer flow and staffing levels.
