"Smart Carts" for Cashier-Less Grocery Check OUt

Different

Nothing against cashiers, but I can't stand them. Life without cashiers would be great.

I have seen people with an app on their phone and they scan each item as they put it into the cart. They just let the check out person then scan their phone total....and you are checked out.

Amazing. Of course you then have to bag up that crap somewhere in your car I guess.

It's already pretty common in the Nordic countries.

What I always hated was cashiers that would try to guess what you were doing and want to talk about it.

Garlic, onions, bread, ground beef, peppers, tomato paste, tomato sauce. Oh, making a meatloaf I assume?

I bought a folding camp shovel once at an Academy sporting goods and the guy actually commented, "well, I guess you could hit someone in the head with that". Seriously? Where did THAT come from? Do I look like someone that bashes people in the head with shovels? And at 50 something years old at the time and wearing dress clothes and on my lunch break. Is it the little tassles on my Nunn Bush dress shoes? Do guys with little tassels on their dress shoes bash people in the head with shovels? I must have missed that class at "The Kingsman" training academy for secret agents and psycho killers. :)

"Yes, after I bash people in the head with the shovel, I will make a meatloaf. Waste not, want not. Happy now?"

Say now, that reminds me, I need some really large garbage bags and some rope and some rags. ... and duct tape. :) LOL.

I've met cashiers like that. Ask to speak to a manager. Tell the manager that you do not want the cashier to publicly question or talk about your private purchases. It is rude and disrespectful

I like the lines that say, smart people here, dumb and slow over there. If only...

I have been a cashier when I was like 12. It sucked and life without a cashier is a better life.
