Scan and self-checkout

Posted on May 9, 2020 by Wegmaniacal

A confession: As a night worker, I’ve never used the Wegmans SCAN app.

It’s turned off when the store is closed. (I do, however, have the pleasure of shopping when there are no customers, so I’m not complaining.)

Those who have used the app give favorable reports. All you need is a smart phone, a Shoppers Club account, a bag and a cart.

Fill the bag as you walk the aisles, scanning the bar codes for each item, then pay at self-checkout.

Voila! As long as you (and others) practice social-distancing, you’ve had no close contact.

Wegmans began testing the app even before the pandemic and is now gradually rolling it out. To see whether your store is participating, check here.

About This Site

Upstate New Yorkers love their Wegmans, with a bond that newer customers in other parts of the East are discovering. As a customer and former employee, I share the obsession.

I launched Wegmaniacal in December 2019, to examine the cultlike following the company has developed since its founding in Rochester more than a century ago.

The site stagnated when I left Wegmans and returned to other endeavors. But with rising grocery prices, lowering environmental regulation, and pharmaceutical challenges, it’s time to resume writing here.

Much of what I have to say is positive. Nevertheless, the company is family owned and most of its operations are conducted in private. As a longtime journalist, I’ll also delve into topics Danny Wegman would prefer to keep behind closed doors.
