Sam’s Club members can now purchase alcoholic beverages nationwide in clubs that sell alcohol, where allowed, thanks to the technology from its Scan & Go feature on the Sam’s Club app.
Customers just use the Sam’s Club app to scan their favorite beverage in the store (along with anything else they want to buy). When done shopping, a customer then heads to the exit to have his ID checked by the greeter to verify he’s at least 21, click “pay” he’s done.
This feature was first tested in the company’s retail and innovation lab, Sam’s Club Now, in Dallas late last year and has officially been rolled out in all clubs that sell alcoholic beverages, where allowed.
