"Target's New Self-Checkout Policy Undergoes Testing Phase"

Target is testing a new self-checkout policy by restricting self-checkout to customers buying 10 items or fewer, while those buying more are required to use full-service lanes with cashiers. The test aims to shorten wait times and understand shoppers' preferences. Target has seen a 6% increase in customers using full-service cashier lanes since the changes. Retailers are finding that self-checkout machines can be slow, unreliable, and impersonal, erasing potential labor savings. Additionally, retailers with self-checkout experience higher loss rates compared to full-service cashiers due to intentional shoplifting and customer errors. Target attributes its merchandise losses to theft, including petty shoplifting and organized criminal groups.

Ford's EV Struggles Lead to Embrace of Hybrids

Ford Motor Co. plans to introduce more hybrid models as it faces widening losses on its electric vehicles (EVs). CEO Jim Farley stated that the popularity of hybrid systems, particularly in the F-150 pickup and Maverick pickup, has surprised the company. Ford aims to leverage the efficiency of hybrid systems for specific duty cycles while adding new capabilities through battery technology. The decision to focus on hybrids aligns with customer preferences and allows Ford to offer an in-between option for power-hungry but EV-wary drivers. Despite the emphasis on hybrids, Ford remains committed to its EV push, although the ramp-up may take longer than anticipated.
