Re: Pet Peeves?

I love self check out, usually faster and better to have 10 self check out options vs 2-3 human cashiers. I went to a store last week and they redid their front end, got rid of all human cashier...

Re: Pet Peeves?

If I recall Wal Mart experimented with a scan and go app last year, where shoppers scanned as they shopped and either skipped a check out or only had to pay at the check out.

They seemed to have...
