Progressive Grocer: In an indication of the growing acceptance of self-checkout technology on the consumer landscape, next month Amish shoppers at community-based independent Shady Maple Farm Market will be able to check out their own groceries before heading home in their horse and buggy. The single-store retailer located deep in the heart of Amish country, Pennsylvania's Lancaster County plans to install four Fujitsu U-Scan self-checkout units. "We looked into self-checkout a few years back, but the technology wasn't where we wanted it to be," said Kevin Porsche, director of IT for Shady Maple. "Now we are much more confident in the systems, and need to install them to be competitive. Many retailers in our market have them and they are well-accepted."
