I was shopping at a Giant Eagle grocery store in Frederick the other day. They have a service called Personal Shopper. It is actually a portable self checkout unit. When you come into the store there is a bank of handheld scanners. You scan your Giant Eagle club card and one of the scanners lights up. You grab the scanner, a cart and a bunch of bags and scan your products as you go along. You weigh produce and it prints out a barcode at the scale that you then scan. When you go to checkout you just scan a barcode at the counter and it downloads all the information. You just pay and go. Very cool.

Bloom grocery stores have the same service, just scan your bloom card, pick up the scanner and off you go. Much faster than standing in line to checkout.
