Wisconsin grocery stores testing new technology - Minneapolis Star Tribune

MADISON, Wis. — At Woodman's Market, grocery shoppers can grab a cart, fill it with food, and have a cashier ring them up — business as usual.

But for the more adventurous, the store is also a self-described "testing ground" for technology that rewires the grocery shopping process.

Walk into the store's bakery entrance, and one is greeted by a rack of "mobile shopper" devices, small handsets that look like a cross between a scanner gun and a smartphone, made by the European tech company NCR. Customers can check one out and scan their groceries as they shop, bagging as they go. When they're done, they head to a self-checkout lane, scan one last time at the terminal and pay.
