Re: New Sams Club app

[Gordan Radić]

Hi! Here in Croatia we have some shops with the similar system of self checkout. It's not phone based ut it works. The thing is you have two scales side by side. You put the shopping cart on one and move item by item on the other while scanning the barcodes on the items. After you done you insert the credit or debit card, enter the PIN and you're ready to go. The first scale measures the cart items weight and the other makes sure the same weight is there when you move all items from one side to the other. the weight of the cart itself is precalibrated. I don't know is it possible to mov items off the scales, never tried it but I'm quite sure there are some cammeras pointed in your direction xD.

I think all of these systems count on most people being honest, but I am equally sure that these big companies also factor in a percentage of theft/disception. On the other hand they are basically making the shoppers perform the work a casheer usually would perform so they are saving money and I doubt people steel more this way then any other way. If somebody wants to steel they do it regardless and either get away with it or not. If they get caught they typically get a slap on the wrist which in most cases won't prevent them from doing it again on the next day or the next week.   Regards, Sieghard   From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Jeremy Gilley Sent: Saturday, October 01, 2016 2:47 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: New Sams Club app   So, I found this to be very interesting. What is preventing someone to scan a few items, and slip smaller items into their cart with out scanning? They don't have to see a casheer to verify all items have been paid for? I don't think the person at the door looks at all the items in the cart and what was paid for that closely do they? This just feels like an open door to someone getting away without paying for everything if they can get away with it. Anyways, not bashing, just some thoughts that came to mind.   From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Robert Doc Wright Sent: Friday, September 30, 2016 11:51 PM To: viphone@googlegroups. com Subject: New Sams Club app   For Sams Club members there is a new app called Scanb to go. It will allow you to scan your items as you place them in your cart. It will keep a running total and when you are done you can pay with your phone and show the receipt on your phone to the person at the door, thus by-passing the cashier. It is accessible but unfortunately knowing where they place the bar codes isn't. *** Colorado Blind Bowling Association http://www.coblindbowling.org   We cand really use your help!
