My own bag. Hand scanner. Zip through the store while loading my bag. Easy check out. Hell no I don't want to use the cashier line.

I don't think that's what the article is talking about. The cart and hand scanner are different.

I know entirely too many people who don't use the hand scanner, and it's crazy to me. It is by far the most efficient way to shop. I get irrationally angry when there are people in the self checkout line with a whole cart of groceries. This line is not for you. Get with the times.
