    I wish scan and go would be more common.

    1. Bring your own bags.
    2. Scan and bag items as you go.
    3. Check in at register and walk out. I’ve got two little kids and it’s the best way. It’s a shame that only Walmart offers scan and go in my area and it’s behind a subscription.

      They used to have this for a year or two at our Kroger and it was amazing. Then they got rid of it… I think the excuse was too many people were “forgetting” to scan things, but my guess is the upkeep on the scanners was creating a teeny tiny dent in their profit margins (and they never actually got rid of other checkout modes to offset).

      BJ’s does that and it’s very fast. They have a guy at the exit do a spot check, but there’s basically no line.

      BJ’s does have an annual subscription though, which sucks.

      That sounds super convenient.

      The concept of a Walmart subscription is hilarious to me, as well.
