Signals to read first

Three signals to read before the result

Cannot forecast checkout demand01

Cannot forecast checkout demand

Without a forecast of when and how many customers will reach checkout, another register opens only after the line is already long.

Cannot measure walk-away customers02

Cannot measure walk-away customers

Customers who leave after seeing the line are invisible, so the actual size of the loss is unknown.

Inefficient checkout allocation03

Inefficient checkout allocation

One register can have a long line while another has capacity. The imbalance remains if customers do not move on their own.

Expected results

The real cost of checkout walk-aways at hypermarkets

When a customer abandons a cart after choosing products, the store loses the sale and must also spend staff time returning items to the shelves. Research suggests that around 15% of customers give up when waiting exceeds three minutes.
