Well, the yucky Saturday for some that was yesterday.
We just made out regular run to Sam's for fruit. Walk in and nod to lady at the door she is the same one that has seen us many times. Go load up the cart, scan as we load it, slide a bar to pay, walk towards the door, and show the same lady my phone app with a code on it. She scans it, and scans one object in the cart, my phone beeps done withing a few milliseconds of her scanning the apples. We walk out. The lady at the door is the same one we have seen over the last couple of years so she knows us. She likely thinks of us as the fruity couple. I did say thanks, and she said have a good day.
No lines no waiting. Welcome to the future of shopping. Much like the Amazon stores that I have read about.
It beats the heck out of the Super Target not too far from our house. They have 35 lanes to check out, and never ever more than one register open, and the line is always long. They have 9 or 10 self service registers, but I have seen that with a line to get to use them. I would not doubt Target has an app, but they lost my business long ago with under-staffing issues.
