Where are you shopping? I get groceries the most I've seen is 30 people at a time.

People are talking about facial recognition and smart phones driving this. What they're missing is that your shopping cart is likely to contain a selection of items which make it _highly unique_. Not just on the day you're shopping but across large spans of time.

Of course the lowest tech is I can just put a tracker in your cart or in your basket.

Midwest Walmarts, Meijer’s, Costco etc very often have hundreds of shoppers.

So we’re going to see a price and by the time we get to the register all the prices will have changed? And that’s not going to cause a bunch of commotion and demands for price checks at the checkout?
