Case Study Activity 2

I was supposed to buy different items from two grocery stores and compare how the food is processed and checking out.
I am comparing buying MaxMart and Koala where I bought one kilo of jam, raisins, bread, a kitkat chocolate bar and a bottle of juice.
Generally, Koala seems to be a more traditional grocery store compared to MaxMart which is much bigger. Therefore, MaxMart has more checkout points than Koala. Both stores however use barcodes to identify the products. There is not much different to how the checkout process goes because their systems are different.
This is a challenge for me because all the known supermarkets here in Ghana use barcodes and none use RFID system. Therefore I am not able to compare the checkout process and see if RFID system really makes things go faster. I also need to refer to personal experience as a customer when I answer questions on the exam...
