You scan the item barcode on your phone as you shop. You pay from your phone and show the phone receipt at the door like you would a paper one. It's a pretty painless process, except for getting the barcode on a giant box of something to scan right.

I think Lowe's/Home Depot/Ace are in a bit of a different category. They're big box stores but they're been able to expand because they carry a lot of stuff that you either have to have quickly or want to see in person. Plus the whole tool rental thing is a godsend when you need something for one project.

ToxicSlurpee posted:I live real close to a KMart. I only really shop there because of a combination of "gently caress Walmart" (which is like 20 minutes away) and the fact that the only Target nearby is like 15 minutes away and like 50% more expensive than the KMart. I only go there for limited things; the store is dirty, the staff is indifferent and obviously an underpaid skeleton crew, and some things you buy there just aren't good quality. It's fine if I need a new mop, soap, or some Drano or something but other than that? Nope. Buy your cleaning supplies at the dollar store. Seriously. They usually have a whole wall of them and it's all the same drat chemicals.
