Letter: Plastic bag requirement undermines Smith’s portable scanner option
(Trent Nelson | The Salt Lake Tribune) Smith's has introduced handheld scanners to five Utah stores - where shoppers carry a small device and scan and bag their groceries as they walk through the aisles. Adrian Ortega demonstrated one of the units at the Rose Park store, Monday April 16, 2018. I love my smartphone and I appreciate new ways to streamline grocery shopping (“New portable grocery scanners are rolling out in Utah Smith’s stores,” April 25), but I share concerns recent writers have expressed about displaced store employees and other potential complications.
