Checking out Kroger's new smart carts

Something else to glitch out?

ANOTHER JOB BITES THE DUST😬

[@redhotcole3549]

You realize new jobs have been added too...who do you think shops for all the online orders

[@NintendoGuyBri]

Yeah. It may be a good idea. But, it’s the same thing as self checkout. Do you really suppose that people scan every item in their cart? We have a similar system at the store that I work at, which is quite a bit different from a smart cart. You scan items from your phone. But, the problem is that people don’t always scan everything in their cart. They always pass by on the more expensive stuff, hoping they can get by. Then when an employee scans the expensive items with their device at checkout, they’re not scanned. People only scan the cheap stuff, hoping to get away with it.

[@mrhorrorjunkie7873]

I wonder if they say space out and say “Be sure to scan all items before placing in bagging area!”

how do you get a receipt? Im assuming its digital to your kroger account only? eh?

[@rooneye]

Good point. I know my mum would LOVE this, but ONLY if you could just walk in and use it without signing up and that you'd also get a physical proper receipt. These shop accounts can be hacked etc. We've just been hacked with eBay and Paypal (and if THEIR security ain't strong enough, two of the biggest most players on the web, then little independent shops like this have no chance) and never got our money back, the older generation once that happens to them they're like "Sign up to another account and add my credit card details again to get hacked? NO THANKS"

[@CoastersNSich]

You can choose to get your receipt via an email or text message.

Kroger: "Our checkout clerks won't be affected with these new smart carts." Me (to Kroger): "We'll see. You already have the standing self-checkouts, and those have put a few cashiers out of work. Your 'scan, bag, & go' mobile app technology still isn't available in all of your stores (and it's a hit-or-miss in the few it is available, with most employees not trained). These carts may help if you're buying only a few bags of groceries, paying with only one credit or debit card, and don't plan on using any paper coupons. Kroger, we know what you and the other big-box retailers are really planning to do, so please, just tell the truth already instead of covering it up.

No cash asks scammers all install fake card readers. By the time you wait for tech help to come find your beeping cart...someone will have all your info. 🤔

Also jobs. Whose going to keep people paid and the economy going?

[@redhotcole3549]

@@notibutchristGal222 no one is losing their jobs...you realize how many jobs online grocery pickup created???

[@kayhutson7577]

What if I change my mind on an item? Decide that I don't want it after all. How do they know you scanned every item?

[@KishBish]

They probably have cameras on the carts checking the scans, plus the cart might have a scale to check the weight of what has been added- similar to the self-checkout registers.. if you need to make a change, there's probably a button to call for help..

Ive worked 41 years in the bussiness Im a Subject Matter Expert it says it will not cut staff no it will cut everyones hours and anyone that would love to debate this subject Im open for discussion and now you can pay the same grocery prices and you can check out and bag your own groceries now thats service

[@HardKore5250]

How will it cut everyone hours?

[@vicellison3147]

@@HardKore5250 its easy if you take personal from the front end and place them else where like grocery produce the deli each department is alotted a number of hours based on sales so if you have 200 hours and five employees thats 40 hours each if you have seven employees you are down to approximately 28hours each depending on the contract employees could lose their eligibility for insurance

[@HardKore5250]

@@vicellison3147 Ok but the smart carts are optional.

[@vicellison3147]

@@HardKore5250 well.I know the company well they will schedule for them to be used and even if 30 percent use them it will cut those hours and people in the middle of the schedule or at the bottom will lose hours or quit because lack of hours or be laid off the people with the most senority will still get their 40 hours that cut in hours will cause lost of insurance coverage for those less senior

[@jazzyazz5347]

Exactly! Ppl are dumb! It’s not like prices are gonna go down. They’re just helping cashiers lose their jobs while they do all the work themselves and the store profits. Today is shopping cart. Next is smart gas station clerks, waitresses, nurses, bus drivers, teachers, even doctors. It never stops

Don't you guys have contactless touch pay in America? You guys also didn't have chip and pin did you? I remember you guys were still doing the swipe and sign outdated nonsense while the rest of us were doing chip and pin. Is you banking industry just lazy af?

[@miles5600]

That’s not true, most americans now a days Have contactless pay and apple pay

[@RobbieP2Vlogs]

@@miles5600 the only problem is a few merchants still choose not to accept contactless payments, especially with Apple or Google Pay, and Kroger is one of those.
