Retailers and super markets should have checkout lines that cater to shoppers who have smart phones, in order to keep shoppers from having to wait in long lines, and to keep such shoppers browsing within the store instead.

It would be relatively cheap to implement smart phone express lines – especially since the main component of the necessary system to make such a reality, is a smart phone App, which wouldn’t cost too much to create.

The system would work in the following way(s):

(1)  At any time after entering a retail location, a shopper would be able to activate the smart phone express checkout line (special) APP, and at such a time they would be added to the special list.

(2)  Whenever any special gets down to one shopper, the next person on the special list would get an alert notifying them that an open slot has become available.

Upon receiving such an alert the shopper would be able to accept such a slot, or would be able to move one or more people in front of them.

If the specials were to be implemented inside all the major brick and mortar (B-&- M) stores, the shopping experience inside such locations would hit the five star levels, hopefully.

Shoppers would be able to conveniently avoid the long frustrating waits that occur in a lot of major B-&-M store locations, while preserving their space in line.

Special shoppers would also spend more time, on average, browsing the aisles of B-&-M locations, than most average shoppers spend browsing within such locations. Therefore, such shoppers would also be more likely to impulsively buy extra items within such an extended browsing time. This would theoretically add to such a B-&-M locations bottom line.

Furthermore, the special APP would hold unlimited potential – especially since B-&-M stores would be able to come up with creative features to offer shoppers as add ons to such an app.

Since I wrote out this idea as it came to me, I might seem to ramble a bit, if so accept my apologies, for now, and in the future, because I sincerely believe it’s best to express an idea as it flows…

Until next time… Hopefully a lot of checkout lines, will start catching up with technology faster, and on a more constant basis.
