> I would hate to do a real grocery run on one

When we do a full shop we take the barcode scanner with us around the shop, and scan as we take things off the shelf, so we don't need to unload anything at the till.

All the stores in the UK. You just grab a device like a big phone, scan, put in your bag or pocket, sync at the checkout, and go. No need to re-pack or speak to anyone.

Ah! Are those the things on the blue and white stands? I saw something pop up out front last week but didn't look too closely.
