It’s certainly a fact that the checkout is time-consuming. But there are definite ways to speed up the process. Here are some suggestions that have worked for me.

1. Have your loyalty card ready (if unavailable your phone number usually does the trick.)
2. Make sure all you coupons are readily available. I like to put each coupon in the front of my file as I pick up the product. That way I never miss a deduction.
3. Check your coupons-they must match the item exactly. Scanners automatically verify this.
4. Try and stack similar items on the conveyor belt so the packer can keep all like and perishable items together. This is especially helpful in the summer.
5. Check your register receipt before leaving the store to make sure you received all the store’s specials. If not, a quick trip to the courtesy desk can resolve these issues.

That’s it. Each trick to save time and money is always worthwhile.
