It’s one of the lesser known victims of the need for faster checkouts at supermarkets. More and more standard tills with belt conveyors are being replaced with faster, more efficient basket tills and self service points.
Self service till points have been popping up in increasing amounts over the last few years. This is due to the fact they can usually handle 4 people in a space usually taken up by or 1 or 2 customers. Not only is this space efficient but also helps save time serving individual customers.
Another benefit of self service tills is that often 1 member of staff can look after 2, or even sometimes 4, customers at a time. Some self service areas still make use of belt conveyors, but often they are usually just simple roller conveyors.
Belt conveyors have been a standard at supermarket tills worldwide for many years and although it isn’t likely they will be completely abandoned there is a definite sense that we are gradually moving away from this particular piece of equipment.
On the plus side, in exchange for less conveyor belts, customers and supermarkets are seeing benefits in smaller queue times and lower staff requirements on the tills.
