RFID Journal: One hundred consumers who shop at the C1000 grocery store in Molenaarsgraaf, Netherlands, have started paying with mobile phones equipped with near-field-communications radio frequency chips. The consumer group is participating in a six-month pilot being conducted by Schuitema, the nation's second-largest retail chain. Schuitmena says it aims to improve efficiency at the checkout counter and is testing RFID in one of its 450 C1000 stores. In the Molenaarsgraaf store, RFID readers have been added to checkout terminals.
