Here in New Jersey all Pathmark & Shoprite supermarkets have the UPC Scanners.

Pathmark cashiers use the two-handed right into the bag approach (which really
works fast). Pathmark pledges if the scanned price is incorrect they give
you the item free.

Shoprite cashiers use the traditional bagging approach, However, the "scanner" 
tells you the price aloud.

One other advantage of the UPC scanners is the readable (an items description
and price are listed) register receipt.
