The big box store announced that it has added three significant additions to its safety measure:
To start, you can now get contactless payment at self-checkout stations. You don't need to pick up the hand scanner; simply scan your Wallet barcode via the Target app once you're done scanning items to complete the transaction.
Next, you can now checkout from anywhere inside the store so you don't have to wait in a checkout line. Just find a Target team member with a "handheld MyCheckout device" to pay for your items from any aisle.
Lastly, you can actually make a shopping reservation if your Target store is known for having a line outside.
