How nationwide is this? Over here by NYC, there is one out of 5 stores near me that have this option, and it seems store by store as not every store in the same chain have them, but the A&P near me has this option. It takes credit/debit and cash and has a built-in scale in the bar code reader. I find myself strangely going to this store just because I have the ease of doing it myself. I usually bike the 7 mile roundtrip there too and bring some panniers on my bike and a small daypack for anything large. But I find it a great way to make sure I'm not overcharged and there's usually no line. It's also a great way to get rid of small change, as I'm not likely to give a cashier 80 cents in nickels but I have no problem dumping them into a machine!
The hardest thing to do is produce, is it Zuchinni or Green Squash?? But for the most part, everything is bar coded so it's usually simple. and quick. The one drawback is that it announces to the world what produce you're buying.
Do you have such a beast in your neighborhood?
