Hi everyone I think the Migros app with all its shopping options is great. Self-scanning too. However, I need two "devices" - a smartphone with the app and the scanner to buy the goods. There is a holder on the shopping cart for the scanner. The digital shopping list etc. is on the smartphone. When I go shopping, I go to the products with the scanner. The smartphone is on or in the shopping cart. The scanner is then placed in the holder and I edit the digital shopping list on the smartphone. Then I use the scanner again and ... where to put the smartphone? On the handle of the shopping cart and hope that the smartphone doesn't fall off. I might have to adjust my routine too. 😊 A holder for the smartphone on the shopping cart would certainly be worth considering.

May I make a counter-proposal? - As a preliminary remark: I currently use a private shopping list because I find it more practical than the one on the Migros app (which, together with the Migros hand scanner, takes up too much space for me). In the following constellation, I would immediately switch to the Migros shopping list: -- I make a shopping list with my Cumulus account on my cell phone or even better on my PC -- I go to the scanner counter and get a hand scanner with my Cumulus account -- ** First question directly after purchase: Do you want your shopping list on the handheld scanner -- I read the item and scan the listed item - if 100% match, item on shopping list is automatically crossed out and slides all the way to the bottom - if not 100% match I can do this manually as with my private list (swipe right, gets crossed out, slides down in same order). There is not a 100% match for raw products (vegetables, fruit) - for finished products it is more like 100% -- I can of course also swipe away manually (as noted above) if I do not buy the item -- I can also make spontaneous purchases - i.e. items that are not on the shopping list - for the last two items just like with my private shopping list. The payment process at the Subito payment point would be the same as before - you could actually distinguish between purchased and shopping list by color... As an alternative to the question at the point of purchase (=see above **), I could imagine such a setting at home on the PC/mobile phone, because then all those who do not want this (handwritten note, own shopping app) would not be bothered. Just as a thought to have the shopping list on the hand scanner and thus shopping list and actual purchase on ONE device...

Hello Tecci, thank you for your message. I'm pleased that you're happy with the app and the various options for completing your purchase. Your self-scanning process is logical and easy to understand :-). A holder is not a bad idea! I was happy to share your input with our specialist department. We may be able to implement your request. Best regards, Tabea

In the past, new inventions were there to make life easier. Today, when I read and observe the problems people have, I am always encouraged to refuse to buy a Big Brother-is-always-watching-you brain prosthesis. My phone can make calls in an emergency. Fortunately, I still have a pen and paper for shopping, which has proved its worth for decades.

The fear of technology is as old as mankind - dear @Federwolke, you remind me of the following event: The railroad comes from hell : There were protests when Germany's first steam locomotive ran between Nuremberg and Fürth on December 7, 1835. The pastor of Schwabach was sure: What was going on in nearby Nuremberg could only be a trick of the devil. "The railroad comes from hell, and anyone who travels on it is going straight to hell," he railed from his pulpit. Doctors also warned against the "smoking monster". Passengers would risk a brain disease if they didn't die of pneumonia caused by the wind. Yes, there used to be horse-drawn carriages that made life easier....

Hi George_Orwell I'm also one of the "relics" and you're probably not entirely wrong. But it's also the case that technology can waste an incredible amount of time. You write your shopping list on your computer at the office, synchronize it with your cell phone, use the scanner at Migros to find the products and then go to the self-scanning checkout. Between all these processes, you are guaranteed to have to update a device or app, the synchronization doesn't work properly, the battery is empty or there is no WLAN connection and then the checkout has a problem and a cashier has to intervene. During this time, I've written down my purchases on a piece of paper, done my shopping, put everything away and sit on the balcony with a caipirinha and enjoy the evening. Progress and technology are okay, but sometimes they turn a simple activity into a time-consuming, nerve-wracking monster. Don't they? ;-))

Nonsensical comparison... Just because you're not prepared to be bugged around the clock and have your every move monitored doesn't make you a technophobe. I use the latest technology for work, but when I leave the house I'm always offline. I feel sorry for people who are plugged in and fixated on their prank phone: they want to get out into "nature" and yet only perceive it filtered through their electronic brain prosthesis - if at all. Not to mention the impoverishment of communication and the dilution of language. The real George Orwell would be amazed if he came back to earth today and saw how humanity voluntarily allows itself to be stultified, dumbed down, dumbed down and monitored.

Dear forum members The discussion is digressing somewhat. In principle, it is everyone's right to organize their shopping as they wish. However, it is undisputed that technology, in whatever area of life, will shape us and our world more and more. For example: I am not yet of retirement age. When I started school, we still used slates with chalk and pencil. The future will look something like this: I'll take shopping for everyday groceries as an example. Orders are placed via an app. Either in writing or as a voice mail. Purchases are compiled at central locations and delivered to the defined recipient via drones. Be it to a remote mountain pasture or to an apartment in a congested city. Of course, as is already the case today, payment will be made using the APP. If you consider what has happened in the time of the slate, the scenario described is more or less a reality in the foreseeable future. The home delivery service via means of transport on the streets, controlled by people, has already been a reality for some time. As long as shopping with "older" aids is still possible, this can be used. So now let's see whether there will be a holder on the shopping trolley for the cell phone in the near future. Or - modern technology will make this step superfluous. Greetings from Tecci PS: I didn't pay attention to the gendering. Surely a topic of its own :-)

That scares me. I'm also a slate child and I'm not retired yet. What's dangerous is that people are no longer perceived as people. Our psyche will not be able to cope with this recorded image of the near future. Unfortunately, it won't be as obvious as George Orwell's, but everyone will think it's great, as Aldous Huxley describes it. BUT it is WRONG. When shopping in Migros, anywhere else, or at work, it will all be velogenic. Gloomy picture. My uncle campaigned for friendships between enemy states. He was covered up with heaps of "fiches" by "neutral" Switzerland. He didn't do anything wrong, but it was portrayed as wrong. That was 30 years ago. (Fichenskandal 1900 to 1990). Anyone who believes there is no surveillance, with or without the latest technology, is very naive. We are still in the feel-good zone ... People, originally freedom-loving, are being enslaved by a few system servants with increasing mechanization. It will be subtle, many will be unhappy, despite consumption the vacuum will not be filled. If you look with open eyes, you can already see it in our industrialized societies. Stay vigilant!
