IDK what happened to it, but for a while the Mountain View Walmart had a system where your cart had a pricing gun thing and you'd scan stuff as you put it in your cart. Then when you got to self checkout you paid in the Walmart app and left with no other steps. I thought it was pretty convenient.
Its no longer there and I've not seen it anywhere else so I guess maybe it was a failed pilot program or something.
- sky_rw 7y agoWas probably a local pilot. Wallmart labs is located in Mountain View. Would not be surprised if that area was used for a lot of experiments.
- buckminster 7y agoTesco in the UK has this in my local store. I don't live in a hotbed of innovation so I assume it's nationwide. Edit: it's called 'Scan as You Shop' and is offered in about 500 stores.
- londons_explore 7y agoIt's kinda rubbish when you buy an item without a barcode...
- rstupek 7y agoYeah the walmart near me in the Woodlands TX was the same way and I don't see the pricing gun any longer
