Scanners & Prices
Ever wonder how accurate scanners really are when shopping?
We seem to just scan, pay, and leave the store. With prices increasing so fast it's hard to remember the price of each item while using those self-scanners. I read an article not long ago, (maybe the future of Walmart), where you could scan your items directly from a built-in scanner attached to a shopping cart. Stay cool! |

And then there is stuff like fresh fruit and veggies where you are charged by the weight of your purchase. Or how about a place like Lowel’s where you can buy individual nuts and bolts that don’t have a bar code? What really gets me is they claim self checkout helps with their labor costs, but they have workers lurking around the self checkout area to help customers. Keep the full service registers open! |

We have the ability at Sam’s, to scan as we shop, not a big deal, no line, checking at the door with receipt.
Unless there is a special or dollars off, I expect whatever business I’m shopping to keep their pricing in check |

They have cameras watching you scan. Audit your receipt when finished. no big deal. Labor saving devices are here to stay

Wegmans has it. They have an app, you need to be connected to the store’s WiFi.
You weigh fruits/veggies on their scale and scan the code on the scale. It is awesome, saves a LOT of time, not waiting in check out line. |

Also. sometimes sale prices do not scan the item on sale correctly. |

Typical- you wait on line. There is a mistake. You are directed to customer service, where you have to wait again, sometimes the person in customer service only has the power to call over a manager, while you wait. WE including me are the problem. We shop PRICE but demand expect SERVICE. Some, many go to a place with service, take the PAID FOR by the store SERVICE and they buy it elsewhere by PRICE The world never was perfect BUT, a computer telling you your call is very important to us. You are not supposed to realize it is a computer-IT ONLY CARES IF THE PROGRAMER TELLS IT TO CLAIM IT CARES. Medicare computer is one of the worst. There are like 20 options. You are supposed to remember the 20 and pick the right one. Don't ask to repeat, it starts at number one and gives you all 20 all over again. By the tone of your voice I see we have successfully given you high blood pressure. You wait half an hour get through and oops they hang up on you. Progress? I think Mark Twain said we don't make any progress. As we move forward we lose what was. |

Yup, and the exact same thing was said during the industrial revolution, with people longing for the "good old days" of the Middle Ages.

I remembered a shelve price once and notice it was wrong when checking out. I mention it and they adjusted the item price that was marked on the shelve for me. |

The scan and go is a real time saver (for us).
The one at Sam's works well. The one at BJ's is quite effective as well. ______________________________________________ |
