I grew up in 1980s SW Michigan and "Meijer" will never sound right without the "Thrifty Acres". Otherwise it's Meijers, darnit!
They were so dominant that I never saw a Walmart until I went to college in colorado in 1993.
On scanning with your phone - imagine the data analytics that can be done with details of what got scanned and not purchased vs. purchased. What sort of person does what sort of comparison shopping. It's like the discount/membership cards taken to a whole new level. Now they can almost read your thoughts, or at least learn even more about your shopping patterns and processes.
