Does it also keep a running total of your purchases? Prolly not, as that would stop you from buying too much. I guess I'll ignore this attempt to suck more money out of my wallet too.

Now if they could finally get RFID tags into every product so that all I need to do is walk through a little gate on the way out and have the total automatically deducted from my RF Visa Key-tag, that would be handy.

This would be fantastic but unfortunately with the low grocery retail margins, .5-.10 price on RFID tags (This is with a PO of many many millions), and further equipment, cost to implement a system like this i doubt we see this before 2015 or even later.
