It was frighteningly accurate except for two blocks of cheese that I examined and returned to the shelf, yet was charged for anyway. It took me 15 minutes of chatting with a customer service rep to get that fixed, because I did not receive a receipt for some hours after the visit and the product were labeled as not returnable.
Yeah, I find the technology neat and cutting edge. But compared to Whole Foods, the pizza wasn't as good as Whole Foods and while they had Kumamoto oysters, they did not shuck them for you in the store like Whole Foods nor were they on ice like Whole Foods. For now, I'll stick with Whole Foods.
