minus-squareOhShitSon@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up16·1 年前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?
minus-squareMojojojo1993@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·1 年前Assumption wrong. Although may be correct. I don’t know USA shops. In the UK some shops have had them for 10 + years but not all shops. Lidl for example did not. Although my current area is NZ. Some shops again do have them but not all.
minus-squareOnii-Chan@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 年前That’s fucking brilliant and would actually make me not hate shopping with a passion. That system just makes so much more sense.
minus-squarenicetriangle@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 年前Yeah the little self scanner thing you can take around the store as you shop is not much of a thing in the US.
minus-squareYerbaYerba@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 年前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.
