I agree. Got it last year on Black Friday for $49. I expected it to be like the Sam’s Club scan and go, but unfortunately you still have to stop at a self checkout and complete payment there. Most of the time they don’t bring enough staff in to watch the self checkouts, so they rope off a few lanes of them, leading to a long line.
Debating on if it’s worth $100 / year for that experience. So far, I don’t think so.
