2 Major Changes Coming to New England Target Stores

Who doesn't love a nice shopping spree at Target? Well, unless you spend way more than you want to and have shopper's remorse after the fact. Hey, we've all been there, so no judgement on my part.

Shopping at any big box store can get a bit harried when it's crowded, especially if you have to wait in line with a shopping cart filled to the rim just like everyone else. What's even worse is if you only have a few items while the shoppers in front of you have carriages filled with all kinds of items.

Then there's that person taking forever to pay, which usually happens when someone is writing a check. Yes, check-writers still exist.

All that said, whether it's your go-to Target in Maine, New Hampshire, or Massachusetts, expect two huge changes immediately.

I personally love these updates, as it's all about streamlining the checkout process (where most of our frustration happens). Let's just hope they help.

LEAVE YOUR CHECKBOOK AT HOME

According to NBC News, starting July 15, you can no longer write checks. Believe it or not, half of shoppers under 55 still use checks, and if you're part of the check-writing era, you know they take extra steps in the pay process.

10 ITEMS OR LESS

According to the Today Show, all Targets will soon only allow 10 items or less at self-checkouts. Believe it or not, there are some of us that run into Target for just a couple of items, so this is beyond welcome. But be prepared that the express self-checkout may not always be open.

Each Target location will be able to set their own hours for self-checkout availability. While the hours of operation may vary based on store needs, Express Self-Checkout will be available during the busiest shopping times.

Happy streamlined shopping (hopefully).
