Der Walmart-eigene Sam’s Club testet eine Zukunft ohne Kassenschlangen

Honestly, the scan & go at Sam’s is great. We just walk in, grab what we need, scan it as we go, and then walk out the door. They scan your phone to verify a couple of items and you basically have to wait in 0 lines. Probably not ideal for giant purchases but if you’re just getting a few things it’s a nice option.

Been using it the last year at our Sams. Honestly its amazing, we scan as we go, they scan the barcode at the end, have not waited in a line outside of the one to leave the place.

Honestly, I’m not a fan of most self-checkouts, but Scan and Go is amazingly easy and fast. It actually enhances the shopping experience.

I’ve been using Scan and Go for years now. I appreciate not having to wait in checkout lines. It’s quick and easy. I would use it at Walmart too but they charge you extra to use it there. There’s a benefit to me for having a Sam’s Club membership, I save money. There’s no benefit to me paying for a Walmart Plus membership. Store prices are the same and none of the other stuff matters, and I’m on disability so I have a limited income.

I have used it and it is fantastic. No waiting in lines and you are in and out of the store. The app is very easy to use and the scanner has no problem scanning the items.

Everything works better at our Sam’s compared to Walmart. The carts are always in like new condition, the self check out scanners always work, the credit card payment machines always work and bathrooms are always clean. Savings in gas prices alone make up for the fee.

Where do you get bags for everything? I never bring my own, though my kitchen drawers are absolutely stuffed with them lol

Where we live, we only had a Sam’s Club for a long time and I loved the scan and go. A Costco opened and my wife and I decided to get a membership there to compare. The actual shopping experience is hell compared to Sam’s in part due to the check out procedures. In Sam’s everything was simple and easy. In Costco, there are so many roadblocks and checks it lengthened our trip and really made me feel like they were assuming I would steal. We’re keeping our Sam’s membership and not renewing costco due to the difference in experiences.

They have been its called scan and go, works great. Unfortunately most of Sams customers are 55 plus and refuse to learn new things out of spite.

It works good but as I was told at my Sam’s club this weekend their system does not scan every cart and they still have to check at the door with the phone thing the employees have in their hands so its far from the seamless system everyone is making it out to be.

Or is that just my club being glitchy with the scanners?

So this sounds like you get your own wireless scanner that you scan items as you walk through the shop, and then just put the scanner back, pay and leave? And that’s only becoming a thing in the US *now*? We’ve had this in stores since like 2016 in Stockholm.

What about security against shop-lifting and looting? The article doesn’t mention anything about security of the goods.

I thought this was about their new scan arches.

As a scan & go customer I just hold my phone up so the cameras can see the barcode as I walk through the arch, and the receipt-checker just waves me on. Saves me maybe 30-40 seconds.

I love the scan and go. I usually get around 15-20 items when I go, and half of the time, they don’t even need to check my cart when I leave.

This makes me question of they have some type of cart tracking or monitoring system or something. I find it really odd. They’ll sometimes look down at the scanner and just say “you’re good!” Without even looking at the QR code on my receipt. Then other times they make sure to stop me and check everything. I wonder if they have some people or AI watching for you to scan an item after every time it enters your cart? I remember one time I got stopped, didn’t scan something till I had added a few other items to the cart, then I did all 3 at once.
