Well I think I found out why... Remember the IBM commercial from back in the day early 2000's... "Checkout lines, who needs them!" Well it's spreading like wild fire like Amazon Go stores etc. and will lead to the mark of the beast system!

Tell me the Walmart Canada New “Fast Lane” Checkout System and Urban Supercentre Concept doesnt look like that IBM commercial with the receipt checker at the end... Yep, they told us 20 years ago! Phase out the checkers and have the receipt checker at the end of a cattle shoot.

Walmart Canada Introduces New “Fast Lane” Checkout System and Urban Supercentre Concept

"Fast Lane" Pictures and article at the following link... [link to www.redflagdeals.com (secure)]

May 30, 2019

Walmart has just introduced a brand new in-store checkout system called Fast Lane at its Stockyards location in Toronto. The new system, which made its debut today, allows for customers to scan their own items as they shop with the promise of making shopping easier and more convenient.

The new system is part of Walmart’s new Urban Supercentre Concept, which they hope will “better address the evolving needs of its current and future customers''.


With the Fast Lane checkout system, you scan items as you shop using the My Walmart app. When you’re ready to check out, head to the designated Fast Lane check out where you scan the barcode from your order.

The payment will be made through a credit card which you add in the app and you simply show the Fast Lane associate your receipt as you exit. The app also features digital coupons and store-specific deals for additional savings. Don’t have a wireless data plan? No worries. There’s free WiFi and phone chargers.

Fast Lane seems simple enough in theory. However, things aren’t always as easy as they sound (Remember the now defunct Scan and Go system?). Walmart says they’ve trained special associates to assist with Fast Lane to help make your shopping experience go smoothly.

In addition to Fast Lane check outs, the new Urban Supercentre Concept store also includes the following innovations:

Community Hub: A seating section where customers can eat meals, sit down with friends and family and check out a community board featuring local news, activities and events.

Ours was an older lady who must have weighed at least 300 lbs. Too many people were unhappy with her stopping them. I haven't seen her work there in about a year now. In fact no one is checking receipts anymore. If enough people complain and it becomes enough of an issue it gets stopped.

Last time he actually scanned my receipt. Of course that could be for people who use the self check out. I see people go in there with 300 items and I swear they scan some things twice. Probably to stop them from skipping items.

well, if it keeps a running tab and checks-off against a list, maybe recommends meal ideas tied to store discounts, that would be kinda useful. keeping a running tab would be helpful to keep within a budget or to keep from overspending then having to pay because they've already scanned and bagged all your stuff.

Same in SoCal, they are now scanning the receipt and they don't really check if it matches the items in your cart.
I always deny them and let others see/ hear me do so in hopes they will also follow suit.

Re: Remember the US Walmart show me your receipt implementation when leaving a store...
I guess its because of my retail experience in my younger years but I have no problem showing my receipt at any place I shop.

I hate a thief and if I can help prevent a store from being robbed blind I'm okay with it.

However, my years of retail taught me most stolen goods walk out the back door not the front. Wonder if Walmart searches employee hand bags at the end of the night?

Sams put this new policy in place about a week ago. They use their scan & go tech and basically check the cart like a scan and go - their screen shows them item pictures that should be in the cart and they can randomly scan an item to make sure it's on the receipt.

Yes they use facial recognition most likely tied to how you pay. Face matches the payment you use like CC, DC, etc. unless you are using cash and even then you most likely have some sort of id they can tap into the gov database.

Why should you let them have your receipt, because that is your proof of purchase. I don't trust them to hold it. I've told a few to go back to the cash register and get their own copy. Of course I give in rather than have them call the cop on duty.
