Oh that's a shame. Where was this, and when did they stop?

I quite like the idea of that option. Phone would be best, but I think the poor uptake scan & go had was probably because of the discovery problem. Most people don't use the Woolies app, and those who do use it probably don't notice the little "scan & go" option. But a wall of scanners right at the entrance is harder to miss. I'd have thought it should have much bigger uptake.

A supermarket chain named Metro in Quebec (Canada) did a test-run for more than a year then scrapped the project.

They decided to add more self-checkout machines instead..
