Depending on the grocery store, you can have a great time or a miserable experience.
Many of the stores near where I live are now using bar coded shelf tags that have UPCs on them. Safeway does and Target does too. Kroger does not (at least not yet). With the iPhone 5, I've found that I can be as much as 24 inches from the shelfs and find what the items are. It is pretty cool! This does not work on meat and other items that have local bar codes nor does it work on loose produce, but for packaged goods, its a pretty good solution. The idea of scanning individual UPCs by turning the boxes and finding the codes is, in my experience, very time consuming. The good thing is that stores don't like to have all their stock turned around and the store manager is very likely to take notice of me turning all the boxes over in the baking department and dispatch someone to help me from customer support, even if they weren't around when I first came in the store....
