That system has been a thing for at least a decade in most supermarkets in Sweden, is it not a thing in (I assume) the US?
Assumption wrong.
Although may be correct. I don't know USA shops.
In the UK some shops have had them for 10 + years but not all shops. Lidl for example did not.
Although my current area is NZ. Some shops again do have them but not all.
That's fucking brilliant and would actually make me not hate shopping with a passion. That system just makes so much more sense.
Yeah the little self scanner thing you can take around the store as you shop is not much of a thing in the US.
My local grocery store does it with their smartphone app. I shop this way almost every time. Bag as I go, then stop at a special self checkout at the end to pay.
Your grocery store has cell service? I lose all service the second I step inside mine
They have wifi! The cell service is crap though.
