The scanner also has a "where the hell is this item?" find feature, reminds you of what items from that aisle that you have purchased in the past, and points out additional savings for that aisle.
I use it when I'm feeling antisocial, and also wear my headphones into the store.

Wow... I can see that being a bit better. At least it is easier to just put everything in my backpack instead of asking the cashier to do it for me. But I still have doubts. Would it charge you for something you bought at another store? I remember a library book in my bag would always set off alarms in stores even though I borrowed it normally.
