New self checkouts unveiled at supermarkets – with ordinary tills removed

Supermarkets in Lynn have introduced a number of new self checkouts – removing regular tills in the process.At the Sainsbury’s store on the Hardwick Industrial Estate, additional self-checkouts have been put in place under a ‘bigger shops’ sign.These have been placed next to the existing machines, which are under a ‘smaller shops’ sign.

To make way for these, a number of existing regular tills have been taken away.Meanwhile, in Aldi in Gaywood, a series of staffed tills have also been removed in order for the supermarket’s first self checkouts to be installed.There are now six of them in place, with half accepting card payments only and the other three also accepting cash.
