Wegmans SCAN

the pros: it’s easy to use. You just scan your item and put it in your cart (bonus if you have reusable bags.) You don’t have to interact with a conveyor belt or cashier so there is less chance of viral contamination. The cons: you can’t open the app unless you’re in a Wegmans store. It would be nice if there was an offline mode with a shopping list so everything could be done in one app. Also, the scanner sometimes glitches and says it can’t find the item. You scan it again, and it recognizes it. When this happens the app registers the item twice instead of once. I didn’t realize this until after I paid and I had to go to customer service for it to be resolved. So remember to check your running list before you pay.

The app idea is good, but there are some issues 1-the scan works half of the time, and half of those times it overworks, meaning it adds twice the items just scanned. 2- a great feature to have would be the option of changing quantities especially if you buy multiples, so you don’t have to scan an item 4 times, it would save so much time...especially considering that for each item you need at least two scans then you need to delete the double scan...you got the idea, right? 3- other bug quite annoying is that I cannot accessed the list (items in the cart) without having to randomly check scan/key/scan bottoms until the list option turns red and I can finally access it and check that the items scanned are correct. 4- On top of not being that easy to scan, once you go to the checkout register you cannot change nor delete qt without a customer service person, so you need to make sure your cart is correct before going to the register.

10/10 would recommend. It was really easy to use and it cut my in-store time down significantly. It works best when you bring your own reusable bags so you’re not awkwardly bagging at the self check-out after you pay. The camera scanner feature can be a little sensitive, so be sure to hold each item away from others when scanning. The first time you use the app, be mindful that you scan each item before putting it in the basket. It’s so easy to forget, toss things in, then have to double check the list later. Other Pros -doesn’t drain phone battery (iPhone X) -doesn’t use wireless data (requires you to be on Wegmans WiFi) -phone makes checkout sound when scanning Suggestions for the developers: I know the app is still in its infancy (5/9/19), but I would love to see it integrated with the official Wegmans app. It could automatically check your list items off as you scan each thing. Additionally, I think a search bar would be helpful on the List screen to remove items if you have to put something back.

I really don’t understand how anyone could give this less than 5 stars. It changes the whole way you shop. Yes, you have to be connected to the store WiFi, I’m sure it’s a security measure or something, just deal with it. Ive actually switched back to using a paper list. Start with your Wegmans bags open in the cart, scan your item, put it in the bag. Done. You can even print produce labels and stick them to the back of your list and scan them all later. Place multiple produce items in your own plastic bags or double up. When you are done, you are DONE. I can’t even believe this is legal... THANK YOU WEGMANS!

Interesting idea, but scanning on the app just shifts the time spent checking out to standing in the aisles at the store while picking out items, where you feel in the way of traffic... and store employees definitely let you know that it’s impeding traffic flow to stand in the aisle while scanning. Plus, wifi connection drops frequently which makes the scanning process slow while it reconnects. And after all of the hassle of the app you still have to go stand in line to check out anyway instead of being able to check out from the app or at a separate express kiosk. Overall, using the app made grocery shopping much more stressful, so it got deleted and I won’t plan to use it again.
