That system has been a thing for at least a decade in most supermarkets in Sweden, is it not a thing in (I assume) the US?

That's fucking brilliant and would actually make me not hate shopping with a passion. That system just makes so much more sense.

Yeah the little self scanner thing you can take around the store as you shop is not much of a thing in the US.

My local grocery store does it with their smartphone app. I shop this way almost every time. Bag as I go, then stop at a special self checkout at the end to pay.

Your grocery store has cell service? I lose all service the second I step inside mine

[-] YerbaYerba@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

They have wifi! The cell service is crap though.
