Ever been to Sams Club when the lines are really, really long? They have employees scan your products, while you are in line, so as you step to the register all you have to do is pay.
Check this out. Why not throw a scanner on every shopping cart (scanners are cheap in 2011)? As the customer shops, he/she scans every product before it is placed into the shopping cart. Along with price, it would generate the total weight of your order, after each additional product is added.
Done shopping? Go to the checkout and your shopping cart scanner already has the total cost and weight generated. The clerk verifies the weight, by a floor scale (the shopping cart has already been tared out), and charges the customer for scanned total.
This would eliminate lines in stores. It would also eliminate the need for multiple employees, running multiple registers. This is basically just putting the 'self check-out' in each individuals shopping cart.
Simple. Quick. Genius.
The PIG has done it again.
cellPIG.com OINK!
PS...This could also be an app, which is an incentive to bring customers in. Think about it. An iPhone app that lets you skip lines in the store. Just scan the products with your phone.

Pig, this is an RFID shopping system. Everything has in development for a number of years. Cheap passive RFID chips in every product and RFID readers at the door. You simply walk out the door and your phone's RFID, which is linked to your bank account, is debted. This is a huge complex system and the RFID readers haven't been perfected yet. We're just now seeing the first wave of on-demand purchases via mobile device but china has been using it for years. I predict Walmart having this system in 5 years.
You may be right about the 5-year prediction. The RFID chips will work well enough by then. The weighing is a nice back-up to prevent tampering with the chips.
You need Weighing Scale or floor scale for weight measuring in home as well as in the gym. Many companies offer you different kind of Electronic Weighing Scale with attached plans. They make many promising quotes relates to these machines but you need to be ware.
Your blog really contain lots of useful information. We have to read all the condition before making decision to take these packages of Weight Machine.
