I can't believe I didn't even think of that as a solution. All the stores in my area already have an app. Allowing barcodes to be scanned would be a gamechanger

I can't believe I didn't even think of that as a solution. All the stores in my area already have an app. Allowing barcodes to be scanned would be a gamechanger. Hell, I'd buy a barcode scanner that connects to your headphone jack, just for this (assuming it exists.)

  A camera works fine, FWIW. It's all integrated at API level. Some supermarkets here let you use your phone (and could take payment further, to remove the physical checkout process), and others use handheld scanners which could also integrate with phones for checkout (direct NFC payment, or scan a barcode on your phone to upload your cart, pay for it). So many options, such glacial movement. https://smartshop.sainsburys.co.uk/ https://smartshop.sainsburys.co.uk/ https://secure.tesco.com/clubcard/scan-as-you-shop https://secure.tesco.com/clubcard/scan-as-you-shop
