IBM Self Checkout with Takeaway Belt at Stop & Shop, Mashpee, MA

[dontwalkhand]

Do you prefer Fujitsu, IBM, or NCR? We have nothing but NCR around my parts of the country, but Sam's is getting IBM ones put in (I have seen them installed, now just waiting on them to be activated). I think the Sam's ones are Credit card only, but I still am going to try it out.

$20 for all your grocerys. Not bad. That would cost $40 at a grocery store near me.

We have Fujitsu UScan units that had those same NCR scanners in some of the stores by me. The scanners themselves were replaced by the newer Datalogic Magellan which is light years better than this.

@tommyboy6181: Mine recently got Datalogic Magellan as well, but it's the only store that I know of (well, besides yours now) that has anything other than these piece of crap NCRs.

i love these self cheackout machines why are people angry mostly oldtimers and lazys not all but some we all need to move on people leran it leave it love it :)

[tommyboy6181]

Looks like that newer IBM unit still has the older model NCR Scanner. Those have never been that great to begin with.



[SchindlerHaughton]

@tommyboy6181: I think they just used the old scanner or something; they used to have PSI here. I hate these NCRs as well.

@gallagher123123 You may want to film it. This is a software update. Yours might be next

Winn-Dixie stores used to have this type, where you would put the item on a belt and it would pass thru 2 "arches." Originally they didn't handle cash so you would go to a kiosk at the end to pay if you were paying with cash. Later they were upgraded with the cash-handling mechanisms. Today, they have the U-Scan machines, which use a scale bed instead of the conveyor.

I always enjoy using the handheld scanners when I go to Stop & Shop. Compared to the grocery stores I usually go to, Stop & Shop is much more technologically advanced.

[Balarick]

yep, i use this occasionally. sometimes i had to type the number. the keypad sound is interesting.

[georgef551]

Similar to the ones Hannaford uses.

The one item that didn't scan failed, because the bar code was aimed at the glass on the back, where the laser is actually beneath the bottom glass. I'm sure the other pane is meant for bulky items, but they usually never work, on any system I've used.

We have NCR's in Wisconsin.

[airplanegod]

Yep, we have IBM at my local stop and shops

[g4tech]

we have Fujitsu ones at the grocery store near my house.

@g4tech I LOVE Fujitsu U-Scan. It is definitely my favorite self checkout. Stop & Shop mostly has IBM, but a few Stop & Shops around here do have Fujitsu U-Scan. I seriously go out of my way to go to other Pathmarks with Optimal/Fujitsu because mine just has two IBM machines. Don't get me started on NCR, my least favorite for both self and regular POS software/hardware.

ShopRite usually puts in the NCR machines. MUCH less annoying than the IBM one. strange how these are the IBMs while the ones in sheepshead bay are fujitsu. also the IBM's at BJ's in Ocean Twp. will automatically make you rescan if you have something heavy and use the handheld scanner, because it's not being measured on the scale. definitely not a good machine for BJ's with all the heavy stuff they sell.
