In the commercial, they stop the guy to give him his receipt. I think
that getting a receipt would be the norm, and you could stop and check
it on the spot.
I would *love* to be able to avoid unloading the cart. Sooner or later,
whatever I have for Sammy to play with isn't good enough, and he has to
hold one of the grocery items. And then there's some screaming when I
have to take it out of his hands at the checkout. With a system like
the one described by Sonja above, I could let him hold it until I had
him strapped into his car seat, if he hung onto it that long, and maybe
I'd let him have it even longer, depending on what it was.
