Online grocery shopping can't touch this technology.

Sure I have ordered groceries online but I miss hand picking many items. The meat department, deli, produce and bakery items. The satisfaction I get in picking up and putting down a dozen or so steaks before I pick the "one" is equal to having gone out and tracked it for days. So I'm going "old school" and hunting down my dinner even if it comes packaged in a bag, box or carton. Standing in my way of course is the unnatural act (to me) of waiting in a check out line. So was I glad when Stop N' Shop finally rolled out "Scan It" to my local store.

Now I am touching and feeling my way to a full cart knowing that when I'm done my Scan It skips the lines and lets me escape with the booty. It's like pulling away from an EZ Pass tool plaza, looking back at the cash lines and thinking they just got owned. You'll need your Stop N' Shop card to get started. Next, grab the device from the kiosk located near the check out lines. Scan the bar code on your card and you are in business. All the sale items from from the card plus more that are unique to the device itself calculate savings as you shop. When you are done hunting and gathering find the Scan It reader at the self service desk to electronically transfer what's in your cart. Follow some simple instructions on the credit card terminal and you are out of there.
