Saw a spot on Food-TV about high tech shopping. I don't know how old the
show was.

Anyway, you walk into the market and swipe your shopping card at a
machine which "logs you in" then unlocks a hand-held wireless barcode
scanner for you to use.

You get shopping bags for your cart. When you pick an item off the shelf
you want to buy, you scan the bar code and it will enter the item and
price, keeping a running total of your groceries, so you're basically
bagging AND checking out as you shop. When you're finished shopping, you
scan an "end of shopping" barcode at a payment machine and pay. It prints
out the list you created.

That's more convenient than the self-checkout lane.

I'm going to have to dial around and see if any markets have this system.
I'd easily change markets for this ultra convenience.

Has anyone used this system to shop?
