Pretty much the title. Like, get those handheld scanners and attach them to the carts. I scan items as I put them in, roll up to a “register” where the cart is weighed and verified by a cashier. I just hand over the cash then leave. Or even better, install load sensors in the cart.
Usually I like to pack my groceries into my boxes as I get them into the cart. Keeps things orderly and neat and I also don’t buy more than I can carry home. But this means I have to unpack them to place on the belt then pack them all over again after paying. It would be kinda nice to just pay by the cart load.
That exists and it’s really nifty. At least in France, you have them in most big brand supermarkets. The downside is that it requires a user account.
Very interesting! I haven’t had the chance to do groceries in France yet. I’d love to see it though. It just seems so nice.
Most large US supermarkets make you have loyalty accounts to get their real prices anyway as it is, in exchange for your buying habits, otherwise everything is marked up.
I really hate this shit and honestly I feel like it should be illegal. Like, offer discounts for the loyalty program members, sure, whatever, but the price on the shelf when you pick up the item should not be able to have contingencies attached.
Discounts for loyalty members is the same thing as higher prices for the general public.
Discounts for volume are the only fair discounts for individuals.
Why is volume a fair discount? Should a single person pay more for their groceries than a family?
