To be honest, though, I thought the following would've happened years ago (glad to see it starting to happen now at least): "Last year, Kroger introduced a system called “Scan, Bag, Go” that allows customers to scan and pay for grocery items as they shop — with their smartphone." #grocery #retail #shopping #CX #customerexperience #kroger …see more
