Electronic Shopping Carts

Super Stop & Shop has launched a new program for shopping cart guides. Called the "Shopping Buddy" the interactive LCD menu is like bringing the register along with you while you shop. You scan the products in as you go, and when you're finished, all you do is pay at the register.

This is a very cool concept, and will potentially save the store and customers a lot of time.

Update: My wife and I tried out the new shopping buddy at Stop & Shop over the weekend. It was actually very cool. It alerted you to savings, and while it took a little getting used to, I think it will actually save a ton of time while shopping. It would be extra awesome if you could setup your shopping list online, and then use the shopping buddy to help you keep track of it, as well as show you where everything is. It must have a GPS in it.
