Kroger introducing AI at self checkout to lower both accidental and organized crime theft.::undefined
There is a phone app, that pretty much allows you phone to work like the scanner gun. I’ve used it before and it works fine, but my phone’s camera is not as good as the guns at scanning barcodes.
Also, as much as I realize I am trading privacy for control, I figure there’s no need to have the grocery store’s app living on my phone, when it is just as easy for me to use the dedicated device they provide in-store.
I might be tempted to use the app, except it refused to let me sign in because of something funky with my loyalty card.
Plus, I kinda like going beep beep beep with the gun.
There is another shop I refuse to use the scanner gun at, because every time you scan, a really loud acknowledgement beep emanates from somewhere in the shop. I can only assume it’s because 90% of their clientele don’t use the scanners, and they assume anyone who does is a thieving scrote who needs to have eyes on them at all times.
