Have you ever gone shopping and get in line to check out\u2014only to find a machine instead of a human being?<\/p>\n
When you\u2019re the one responsible for scanning all your items and swiping your credit card, things go a bit faster and makes life a little bit easier,<\/p>\n
especially when you\u2019re just picking up a few items.<\/p>\n
However, not everyone likes the responsibility of scanning all their items and checking themselves out.<\/p>\n
Plus, lines can still build up with these self checkout lanes.<\/p>\n
Walmart had a solution for a way to still make customers able to check themselves out, but eliminate lines altogether.<\/p>\n
Not too long ago, several stores began to implement their<\/p>\n
Scan and Go\u201d technology in which customers are able to scan items as they walk through the store and then pay on their phones when they\u2019re finished.<\/p>\n
Then they walk through a Mobile Express lane will at the front of Walmart\u2019s stores for security purposes.<\/p>\n
The idea behind using this type of technology was noble\u2014that consumers today want a speedy,<\/p>\n
easy shopping experience, and an easy way to get in and get out of the store without any fuss or muss.<\/p>\n
Sounds like a win-win for all\u2014Walmart cuts costs, we slash all the long lines, and everyone gets to have a seamless shopping experience, right?<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re always looking for new ways to help our customers save time, and these innovations are<\/p>\n
just the latest examples of how we continue to invest in our stores and bring greater convenience to customers,\u201d said Ray Korsch, a Walmart market manager, in a statement.<\/p>\n
