Self Checkout


Recently, I came across this "Scan-As-You-Go" article on cnn.com:


So, we decided to go to this Bloom (used to be a Food Lion) store and check it out, the scanner is not big at all, and it was quite cool. You pick the item, scan it and bag it!
Doesn't the handheld scanner look like a Phazer gun from Star Trek!?

i am not too impressed by Bloom. i think i like the way some grocery stores in Europe better if we were talking about 'efficient' or automated check out ... you have your cart, you walk out via the cashier and you don't need to stop ... the system already 'scan' everything in your cart. do you call it 'care free'?
