Brand loyalty is a wonderful thing, and I get it, you work there, it's a good thing. As an EE and product developer also get the desire to have these handheld scanners working.
The obsession over Disney collectibles is no different than the obsession some people have over re-selling sporting goods. I’ve been a Disney fan for 30+ years. My house is littered with Disney ephemera. I fully understand it.
Purchase limits can easily be added to the program. Sam's did it for paper goods
But can I still pay with a chicken?
I hope those limits are covered better in this program than at the register. In a crush of people, do you know how many purchase limit rules have been broken at Splashdown Gifts and World of Disney? A lot.
Back in the day when the lines went all the way to Produce in Sam's I used it. Sometimes I didn't want to spend the day in one store for only a couple of items
That's fine if you prefer low-paying cash register jobs rather than higher-paying app development and maintenance jobs.
An app has a much easier time than a college student CM telling Chad and Becky that they can only buy two Brer Rabbit plushies in each size.
From stealing?
Well, I suppose they could also use the app to track someone's smartphone from the shop to the front gate... That should give Disney's crack team of security professionals plenty of time to catch the perpetrators!
Stealing what? The CM will match up what’s on your receipt vs. what’s in the bag.
The Only thing CM worry about is mask enforcement policies which at this point one can easily start coughing and just leave, all jokes aside, I honestly worry about Disney’s nonchalant bag policies, I always see kids walking out with toys they never tell their parents about. Granted this is more controllable in the disney mall stores because disney employees talk to each with headsets but I figure it would be harder to enforce at world of disney, the emporium or bigger stores, I mean just imagine how much stuff you can fit in those little “doone and Burke” backpacks one can pretend to use as their “checkout” bag.
If cast members are ringing up backpacks without checking the inside of them then they have been poorly trained. I find that hard to believe.
I’d assume you’d have to checkout in the regular line if you want it delivered. No change there. But at least the line to checkout will be shorter!
Sams Club/Walmart has the person who scans the QR code at the door do a quick count of the number of items to make sure that matches up, and also look for any high value items or pick at least one random item and scan the barcode on that to make sure it matches up. I used to hate going to those stores because of the long, miserable checkout experience, but my opinion has totally reversed since they introduced Scan n Go
