I prefer the stores that let you scan your items on your smartphone and just pay via it or at least go through a fast lane where you just tally it up at the self checkout and go. Especially if they have convoluted coupons or bonuses that o can track as I go.
I've never heard of such a thing as a fast lane for these customers to use. They typically have to still go through a regular lane in that case, but the transaction does end up being faster. But if there are others in the lane already it doesn't cut their waiting at all.
Unless this is a thing at stores I don't know about. This seems like a stupid problem when they can simply make it where you pay via phone and skip a lane entirely. That's how it should be done. Why force a lane at all, people, let's speed this up.
IKEA has fast lanes. Walmart makes you checkout at the self checkout still but you need Walmart+ to even do it. Apple lets you pay right on your phone.
I guess I was only thinking about grocery stores. That's the only one I really care about personally, because it's the most common line I get into. Other stuff I usually buy online.
Giant has wands at some locations on the east coast, but not all of them. Not sure how checkout works.
