A supermarket in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, has launched a 'super slow checkout counter' where the checkout process can last up to 20 minutes, catering to elderly, disabled, pregnant, and others who need extra time. Despite the extended checkout time, the store saw a slight increase in sales at the end of the month. The concept, proposed by a local Alzheimer's support center worker, aims to create a relaxed and inclusive environment for customers, leading to a 10% boost in sales as elderly groups appreciate the accommodating service.
