We need more places where you can scan and checkout with your phone. For example: https://www.bigy.com/myExpressCheckout

This single-handedly changed where I buy groceries - I can essentially just walk out the front door as soon as I have everything I need. Don't need to worry about:

Waiting in the massive checkout lines (even the self-checkout lines are long...)
Taking everything (or mostly everything) out of the shopping cart for the cashier to scan.
