Tesco Heats Up Supermarket Lines

New York City, Tesco has reportedly introduced a new heat sensor technology in several of its stores. In an effort to increase customer satisfaction by decreasing checkout lines, the British retail giant installed heat sensors above checkout lanes. The sensors detect the number of people in line and then display the information in a panel above the lane, allowing shoppers to determine the shortest lines.

Tesco says that the technology has successfully reduced checkout wait times.
