They also added stations by the vegetables to weigh them yourself and print a barcode, which you can scan with this device. The scanner also notifies you of any promotional deals going on/savings. and one really cool part is that if you put a deli order in on the touchscreen stands, as soon as it's ready, the scanner will let you know your order is ready to be picked up, even before they announce it on the intercom.

Think GREEN and make GREEN! Easy slogan and easy step. When will people realize that any green idea is not ONLY beneficial but more profitable so it’s in every business out there to think GREEN!

If it was me who had this idea, I'd put the scanner device in my shopping cart, meaning, the cart should already have the device on board, so you just swipe it across the top of cart and stick in your cart. Once you have all groceries you want and scanned by cart, you pay right at front before leaving and no bags. Just bring a box/es in your car to put all your groceries in when you go to your car. The store can carry boxes for those who are ignorant of being green and make them feel stupid by everyone seeing they don't care or are too dam lazy to do a simple task of bring their own boxes. The cart integrated with these scan devices will make the carts a bit expensive at first to the store, but it will pay for itself when they see how much more people will use them and how much faster the lines go- soon all stores would follow their pattern. 2 stars on green idea- not fully developed idea.

It's like a shopping cart, a breeding ground for germs. I love the idea but think about how many people are touching that thing. It’s like a shopping cart, a breeding ground for germs.
