Yeah the little self scanner thing you can take around the store as you shop is not much of a thing in the US.

My local grocery store does it with their smartphone app. I shop this way almost every time. Bag as I go, then stop at a special self checkout at the end to pay.

Your grocery store has cell service? I lose all service the second I step inside mine

They have wifi! The cell service is crap though.
