supermarket bills

 whats that for? - sorted

in supermarkets, the order in which the items appear on the bill is the order in which it is scanned. instead the order in the bill should follow a better 'customer-friendly logic'.

examples - sort and group items by aisle (nice to have - subtotals) - sort and group them by the usual 'trolley route' etc

due to covid we reduced the number of shopping trips. So this recent visit had a bill of 80+ items. Our usual bill averaged 12 items (pre covid)

the item description in the bill is not always clear enough.

I ended up wondering about few particular items and doubting the till lady for any misconduct (assuming she added items we didnt buy)

later on managed to recall what those items were and it was a bit of relief.

i also think this might be baked already but not sure..if so, would like to see my neighbourhood catch up on the trend.

       This is baked in my local supermarket. No subtotals but the items are grouped by dairy, produce, etc. See example.

       I'm just over the bridge now, in St. Ignace. You close?

       I never set foot on that rickety old thing. Being able to see through rust holes is kinda disconcerting.

       [+] It should really show the order in which you took things out of the basket (and off the shelves?) and then suggest a more efficient route for your next shopping trip.
