What have you bought recently?

I had to buy some ink for my All-In-One printer at Walmart.

While walking back to the ink dept, I happen to come in contact w/some very pretty dark blue plastic drinking glasses.
They're nice n thick, like you'd see at Costco....so I bought 4 of them.

I'm pleased w/my purchase.

I was never a Walmart shopper but with Jeff Bezos general shenanigans I've leaned away from Amazon and toward Target & WM.

While Walmart's online for delivery or in-store pickup are easy and convenient, I've found their wander around, fill your cart and then line up for checkout experience to be a nightmare. I'm one and done on that incredibly inefficient nonsense.

Was it self-checkout? There’re just about all we have here now. I hate it but WM is basically the only moderately priced big store we have. Zellers was replaced by Target & they failed years ago.

I first stood in line at the regular checkout line. Crazy long and didn't move after five minutes or more. Switched to self-checkout, which was another debacle. People took their sweet time rather than paying attention to the line behind them.

No thanks.
 
Self checkout works differently here in Sweden. In most big supermarkets you pick up a hand scanner on your way in and scan your goods as you go through the store. Then at checkout you put your scanner in the terminal where it counts up all your purchases you pay with your credit card and scan your receipt to pass through the turnstile. There is very little cheating and you can be asked for a spot check of all scanned items.
 
Interesting system in Sweden and I expect we’ll be seeing one where fewer clerks are needed too. Is all produce sold pre-packaged?

I think it was Whole Foods that was experimenting with a walk-in & walk-out system.

Nope, most big stores still have manual meat, fish and deli counters. They weigh your purchase and stick a label with a bar code on the wrapping for you to scan. Non prepacked fruit and vegetables you do the same thing yourself
 
We have choices here...either regular checkouts, selfservice checkouts or Handscanners... where you take a gun at the entrance, released by either swiping your debit card or store card..then checkout every single item into your basket or trolley .

Then at the designated 'self shop checkouts' the handset itemises all your purchases to the computer where you simply present a Card to pay...usually very few people queuing at these checkouts

Same here ..although during the lockdown most deli , Pizza, and fresh fish counters were closed and food sold pre-wrapped...

After commenting on another post that I can’t wear white, sure enough I bought a white summer blouse yesterday. It’s away from my face has no collar to become stained by my sunscreen. Also picked up an off-white short sleeve sweater. The brown one that I thought was the same brand has to go back. Small does not equal small. Sizing, duh.
