Browsing in Giant yesterday and there it was. How could I pass it up?

By the way the deli punch-in-your-order and go about your shopping thing is a fantastic idea! They announced that my order was ready, I walk up to the counter and picked it up and about 6 waiting people look at me like, who the heck do you think you are, Oprah? :lol:

My brother is a vegetarian and my usually has Tofurkey for Thanksgiving. He said this year he was going to go from store to store and ask if they had a Tof##ken available for purchase.... true story... :doh:

Giant in Lusby has a neat thing. Walking in, theres a board with about 20 handheld scanners. Scan your store card, it unlocks one. As you shop, scan what you put in the cart. Get to the checkout, cashier just scans a code on the register, it downloads your contents and rings it up. Pay up, bag and go.

So did he get it? :popcorn:

Not yet... but he gets a kick out of asking for it... :doh:

He is also famous for asking the teller, "Is this enough toilet paper for this much food?" :doh:

And if he pays in cash he says, "I'd like to pay with these convenience slips." :doh:

Nice idea, but do they check to make sure you scanned everything that went in the cart?

If you put something in the cart you haven't scanned the cart says in a loud voice:"REMOVE YOUR UNSCANNED ITEM FROM THE CART!".

Sometimes you get pulled for an audit, in which they are required to scan 10 random items in your groceries. I take it they just rescan everything if you have less than 10. It really is a time saver. And great if you have your own reusable bags.

Last time I was visiting my bro and sis in Frederick we made a trip to COSTCO and I was browsing a firming facial cream... he stated out loud in his not so indoor voice, "If one nut hangs lower then the other, could I use this cream to even them up for date nites?" :doh:

If he finds one, I'm sure Toppick would like to know also.

Trying to imagine the cashier's reaction... :lmao:

I bet you have fun family reunions!

Your brother sounds like a really fun person to know!

(kind of reminds me of my hubby -- he'd say that kind of stuff, too!)
