The Checkout Experience and Today’s Shopper
Even though the first bar code scan in a retail store took place over 40 years ago, many people still active in the retail industry remember when bar code scanning at the checkout was a novelty; not the norm it is today. Given the $20,000 price tag of the first grocery store checkout scanner – about $93,000 in today’s dollar – the early technology adopters were truly committed. Although some naysayers probably thought they should have been committed.
Since then, and especially in the last few years, other technologies have been developed and adapted to improve the retail checkout. These developments are getting more attention today because Retailers are focused on the importance of an improved in-store shopping experience for their customers. They are working to keep the in-store experience valuable and relevant as they compete with the online alternatives consumers have at their fingertips.
