Yea, no. The supermarket I shop at, I just scan everything with my phone as I go, scan a QR code at self checkout and pay.

Worst case I have to wait 2 minutes for someone to do a verification scan (5 random items crom my bag) or wait for them to verify my age.

    It absolutely infuriates me when I go into a store and this thing isn't working or they don't have it to begin with. And now I have to stand behind someone in line who wants to pay with 350 coupons all of which are out of date except for one, but they don't know which one so now we're going to have to wait while the cashier checks each one.
