I do my weekly shopping with the scales using the hand scanner, and pay for smaller purchases in between at the express scanner checkout. Everything works perfectly (well, when I'm invited to do a random check when my shopping cart is full to bursting, I really go into a frenzy of joy and thank Migros for the great expression of mistrust! Another topic). Today I had another small purchase. As I like to try out everything new, today it was Subito Go's turn. My experience: - I have a flawless 5G connection, but I can't get any further without activated WLAN (WLAN & BT are switched off in my home) - as I don't always want to change my device settings, the device goes to standby after 3 minutes, i.e. it switches back on: FaceID with mask: great - for the first item it took two attempts until the scan was successful - the rest worked, including the payment process, although I had to enter the code (FaceID was not queried/recognized, as usual with the app's payment function; "killer") - I can of course scan all the purchases at the end and then pay straight away (variant for the next time?), but then I can also go straight to the express checkout as before and scan and pay for everything there; until now I practically never had to wait for a free station. So this criterion also no longer applies. Conclusion: for me at the moment, this is also something from the "things the world doesn't need" category

Interesting essay - @Charleston - somehow it confirms my skepticism about subito go, even though I like to try out new things... I see Subito go primarily as an alternative to SelfScanning. I use my cell phone while shopping for the shopping list (not the one from Migros) and when paying with SamsungPay - but only with my own prepaid data traffic. I only use WLAN at home. spot checks mainly occur when I have to undo a scan - and what I already suspected : with subito go .... just to check its functionality... I can't get excited about using the unsecured Migros WLAN - the prepaid data packages don't cost the earth and are in the single-digit franc range per month for me. It's just stupid if you then have to rely on subito go to be able to shop at all! Until recently, our MMM only had SelfScanning - now all payment stations are SelfCheckout, so it's actually logical to provide only one type of payment station - you can still shop there with SelfScanning and simply complete the payment process at SelfCheckout after depositing the scanner.
With self-checkout, the only items that need to be typed in take some getting used to and can slow down the customer flow at the payment station - I'm thinking of individual items such as small breads and pastries, pickles.... I would prefer a different solution, such as tearing off a small barcode that you can stick on the packaging and then scanning everything in completely. I come to the same conclusion: "Things the world doesn't need" - this was probably more because the competition does it too - I can think of more important features in the Migros app: better search function, easier changeover when you choose not to use the checkout slip, possibility of deleting the scanned items yourself (top right), transferring the shopping list to the Migros scanner - to name just a few things.
Hmm thought I might just give it a try just to have tried it out. When I set it up, I get the message: Allow Migros to make and manage calls. Um, no! Why does Migros need to see and make my calls? Even if it says Migros doesn't make calls, what's the point? I've canceled for now, I wonder why the app wants this permission?
Hello Bodenseeknusperli, for purely technical reasons we have to request telephone authorization for mobile payment. According to this query dialog, the app could use it to make and manage phone calls. However, the app does not use the authorization to make or manage phone calls. The authorization itself is required by the security solution in order to uniquely identify the device. This is actually so that the means of payment cannot be stolen and misused. However, the data itself never leaves the device and is only used for the user's security. Kind regards, Susi
I shopped with Subito Go for the first time today and have to say that for me it's the best innovation at Migros so far. Setting up the WLAN connection was annoying, of course, but you only have to do it every six months. Scanning items worked perfectly, about one second per item (my camera is rather mid-range). Payment was completed in seconds. You simply save so much time. No queuing, no unpacking and repacking. Automatic application of discounts and receipts. No unnecessary receipt printing. And the most important thing for me: no need to touch dirty hand scanners or payment terminals. No cashier has to touch my products and I don't have to put them on the dirty conveyor belt either :)

Well, whether Subito Go is really the best innovation at Migros so far is a moot point. In any case, the hand scanners here in eastern Switzerland are not dirty and they were already thoroughly cleaned before the corona period. If there's one thing that's not so good in terms of cleanliness, it's the shopping carts, where some customers think they have to leave their used masks and other garbage - but maybe that will improve once the mask requirement is lifted. Will SubitoGo really save you so much time compared to SelfScanning or SelfCheckout? - I'll leave that dream to you. I also have nothing against SubitoGo because of the technology - I'm more bothered by the obligation to come into contact with finances using this public, unsecured wifi to my cell phone - I only use my own wifi at home - otherwise data traffic. Incidentally, you hardly have to touch the payment terminal when using Samsung Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay... exactly twice with your index finger on the display when completing the transaction. When it comes to finances, I don't miss a certain distance to Migros at all.

I just did my shopping with SubitoGo today with WLAN deactivated. It worked like a charm! I love it! Unfortunately, this option is not yet available at MM, where I normally shop. I hope that changes soon!
