This is big news. Shopping at Sam’s can take awhile. First the parking, then going down all the aisles and looking at new things. Second, the lines are very long because carts are loaded. Some shoppers even have two carts full. But then, when you exit the store, you must stand in another line to leave as an employee goes over your receipt to check your items purchased. This is another 5 minutes trying to leave the store and frustrating for many shoppers. Those lines are now going to be eliminated by Artificial Intelligence.
How Sam’s Club Checkout Process Is Faster
Sam’s Club will now utilize artificial intelligence to scan carts as they’re pushed out of a location. According to the article from Business Insider, you will not walk through a gateway where your items will be scanned. The gateway is equipped with cameras and sensors that capture images of the shopper’s cart, recognize individual items, and verify the purchase — all in real time.
This technology is already in place at ten locations. Sam’s nearly 600 US warehouses will have it by the end of this year.

Steer Clear: 8 Grocery Store Behaviors to Avoid
Going to the grocery store is a routine task for many of us. It’s a place where we gather the essentials of daily life, and it can be a bit of a chore. Supermarkets are often busy and filled with several shoppers, and the experience can sometimes be overwhelming. One factor that can significantly impact our grocery store trips is the behavior of fellow shoppers. Many of us have left the grocery store in a less-than-stellar mood, whether it’s due to pushiness, rudeness, or simply being inconsiderate.
Grocery Store Behaviors
Supermarkets are like mini universes where everyone’s in their own little world. As we navigate the aisles and make our selections, it’s important to be mindful of our actions and how they can affect others. Being a considerate grocery shopper means being aware of your surroundings and thinking about others. This involves avoiding behaviors such as blocking aisles with your cart, leaving your cart unattended in inconvenient spots, or engaging in loud phone conversations that can disturb others. Instead, keep your cart to one side, move efficiently, and keep noise levels considerate.
Respecting personal space is another key aspect of good grocery shopping etiquette. We all move at different paces when we shop. And nobody likes feeling crowded, especially when trying to pick out your cereal. Don’t tailgate fellow shoppers, and if someone’s in your way, just be patient or politely ask if you can “scooch” past.
When it comes to selecting products, don’t turn into the hoarder of items, which can lead to empty shelves and inconvenience for others. Buying up everything in sight just creates stress for others. Grab what you need and leave some for the rest of us, especially during those crazy times when everyone’s stocking up. Also, don’t open packages or start sampling stuff unless the store gives you the green light.
Grocery shopping etiquette might not be rocket science, but it sure makes life easier for everyone. Since we spend so much time in these stores, let’s make it a good experience for everyone. Just be mindful of what you’re doing, respect personal space, and don’t be a hoarder or a package opener. The next time you’re on a grocery shopping adventure, remember that a little consideration can go a long way in making it enjoyable for you and your fellow shoppers.
