We have several...different look but same concept. Some of the Giant stores in Pa had scanners that you picked up when you arrived and as you shopped you scanned the product yourself and put it in the appropriate bag. Checkout was pointing the scanner at a screen which read your list, you swiped your card and a receipt was printed. I talked to the store manager and he said loss was minimal and those that used it got through the store and checked out an average of 25% shorter time. I often looked at the long lines waiting to check out and wondered why? I wish that system was here.
