If you're a frequent Target shopper like me, you probably want to be in the know about any big changes the superstore makes. There have been many as of late.

A few months ago, it was announced that the store would no longer accept checks. (Yes, some people still pay with checks!)

The store also put a limit on how many items you can take through the self-checkout back in March, limiting customers to ten items in those lanes to move things along.
