To the Pea who clued me in to the Sam's app that lets you scan your purchases AND pay for them ... thereby skipping the checkout lane ... I am eternally grateful! I tried it out for the first time earlier this week, and could feel other shopper's eyes boring an accusatory hole into my back as I skipped past the checkout lanes and headed for the exit checker. I felt like the smartest person on the planet, and I THANK YOU!!!

My sams club has the worst cell service and it would constantly go up and down while using it. They were constantly bringing people to the front of the line to checkout, causing other issues.
It seems like a good idea, but only if it works.

Our Sam's is so under-utilized that I can get through self-checkout without ever waiting!

I love that app. I always giggle when I pass the long lines at our sams and skip to the door.

It’s the sams club app. Just create an account, enter your club number and payment info, and pull the app up when you go in the club and scan items right from your phone. when your done, click check out. It will give you a QR code you show at the door. So easy. |

Only way I'll shop from now on.
I hate waiting in the lines and touching the scanner.
Scan as I go, slide to pay and walk out!
Wish more stores had it.

With the Wegmans app, you go to the self check out, scan the code and pay at the machine. I would assume slide to pay means using a CC or debit card. |

I love the Sam's Club app. It makes shopping there so much more pleasant. I wish Costco would do the same.

It is the best--I tried the self checkout one time and kept scanning the wrong bar code for items that are 2-packs so I haven't tried that again. I first tried the Scan & Go in late March and it was great skipping the lines!

So how do they know you’ve scanned everything in your cart? Is the cart weighed on your way out or do they still check your receipt and then count items at the door?

It seems like a good idea, but only if it works. This happened to me actually .. I switched over to the Sam's wifi and didn't have any issues once I got on their wifi. You might try that and see if it helps. |

They scan the QR code, then scan an item from your cart. I assume they're checking to make sure that the receipt relates to your order (not some rando receipt you picked up in the parking lot). |

Our club scans the code and they count the items in our cart to make sure it matches. I go to a few different clubs and they all just scan my cell phone then use their scanner to scan a couple things in my cart. It would take a lifetime to count every item in my cart. |

It seems like a good idea, but only if it works. Connect to their WiFi! What do you mean slide to pay? Swipe across your phone on the prompt to confirm that you want to check out. Our Sam's is so under-utilized that I can get through self-checkout without ever waiting! But using self-checkout still requires you to touch their computers. With the app, you literally have to come in contact with nothing. The person at the door scans your barcode. No 'touching'!  |

The only thing I touch is the hand scanner ~ I've already touched all the things I'm buying so what's the point? As soon as I leave the store I use hand sanitizer. Maybe someday I'll download the app. |

You might try that and see if it helps. They might have their own wifi now, but back then (maybe 6 months ago), they didn’t. I’m sure if they did, they would have prompted people to do that instead of having them cut into a line. |

It saves your payment. After you hit checkout a button pops up and you slide it to pay. You then head to the door show the QR Code and leave. |

OK, I didn't like the idea of putting my payment information in the phone so I've never used the scan and go app. But I need to go to Sams next week so I think I'll download and use the app this time.

Meijer, a regional store, has a similar feature on their app. Shop and scan. Once they worked the bugs out, it's there only way I shop now. Still have to go to the self check out lane but it transfers over, applies any mperks coupons you had, and lets you add paper coupons, etc before paying. I'm done faster. I don't have to deal with cashiers who insist on putting canned stuff with produce, frozen with the cereal, etc. I can bag my stuff the way I want it and get the hell out of there. |

So you scan items as you put them in the cart? I wonder how Sam's utilizes that data. I guess they could observe how people move throughout the store, and test locations for certain products?

It really doesn’t matter when or where you scan. You just put the items in the cart and scan at some point before you leave. Sometimes I forget to do it right away so I stop in an empty aisle and scan everything. I don’t usually have a huge number of items so it works. I count to make sure I have the same number of items that the app says I do. |
