Wow I am excited about this new program that the Giant Foods by us has installed.  It is called easyShop and it is only for BonusCard holders.  

 When you come in you scan your bonus card.

Pick up the scanner that is lit up on the scanner board.

Pick up some bags if you didn’t bring your blue tote bag from Giant.

As you go around the store, you scan the barcodes and bag your groceries.

The scanner will also tell you what items have extra sales on today.  Today I got an additional $1 off any Coke 12 pack.  I saved $4 when I bought four 12 packs of Diet Coke.

When you are finished bagging/shopping you go to any cashier or a self check out aisle.  You punch in your bonus card again and it pulls up your account.  It shows you how much everything is and asks you to pay for it.  

It took a bit of time to bag things in the plastic bags, because I forgot our blue tote bags.  I think if you have 3-4 of the blue tote bags you can do this very fast. 

It is definitely a way for Kidlet #3 to come to the grocery store with me, since he hates grocery shopping.

I loved it and will definitely be using it again in the future at this store.  I do see that it is kinda of the downfall potentially for cashiers at grocery stores as more and more stores adopt this “self checking/bagging” system. I know that Bloom stores have it already. 

When I was at my old job, I had 3-4 cashiers that I loved going to at the Giant.  Miss Debbie, Miss Dottie, the other Miss Debbie, and Mr. Bill.  Since I have moved to a new job, I have not found the same level of cashiers at the Giant stores on my end of the world, so the easyShop is a great solution for me till I find a great cashier again!
