Abstract: A method and apparatus provide on a mobile electronic device access to a number of gift cards. The gift cards are stored in a virtual wallet and can be retrieved by the user, whereupon an indicium such as a barcode, QR code, or other indicium is visually displayed or is otherwise output on the mobile electronic device. The indicium can be detected by another device, such as a barcode scanner or a wireless transceiver of a point-of-sale retail system, in order to enable a transaction to be performed using the funds that are associated with the selected gift card. When the user is within a predetermined proximity of a predetermined location, a notification is communicated to the mobile electronic device advising that a gift card in the virtual wallet is available for use at the predetermined location and/or suggesting the purchase gift card that is usable at the predetermined location.

Abstract: A resetting cart with a number of product support assemblies is provided. The product support assemblies are movably coupled to a cart assembly and structured to move between a number of vertical positions. Thus, a number of reset assembly shelf assemblies are disposed at a selected elevation that generally corresponds to a product support assembly (e.g., a shelf) elevation.

Abstract: A cart including a frame assembly and a number of tote support assemblies is provided. The frame assembly includes a longitudinal axis, a first lateral side and a second lateral side. Each tote support assembly includes a tote support member defining a plane. Each tote support member is movably coupled to the frame assembly wherein each tote support member moves between a number of positions including a level, first position, wherein the plane of the support member is generally horizontal, and a tilted, second position, wherein the plane of the support member is tilted toward one of the frame assembly first lateral side or the frame assembly second lateral side.

Abstract: A tote assembly including a tote body and a divider assembly is provided. The tote body includes a generally planar bottom member and a number of sidewall members which define a generally enclosed space. Each tote body sidewall member upwardly depends from the tote body bottom member. Each the tote body sidewall member tapered outwardly. The divider assembly includes a number of generally planar first members and a number of generally planar second members. Each the first member having a limited length. Each second member having a limited length. Each second member is removably coupled to one the first member. Further, the plane of each first member and each second member is disposed generally vertically. The divider assembly is removably disposed within the tote body enclosed space. Thus, the tote body enclosed space is divided into a number of compartments.

Abstract: A checkstand includes a cabinet, an electrically actuated conveyor, and an electrically actuated rotatable turntable. The electrically actuated conveyor is mounted on a portion of the cabinet. The conveyor is structured to convey items from a first end to an opposite second end when actuated. The electrically actuated rotatable turntable is mounted on the cabinet proximate the second end of the conveyor. The turntable is structured to receive items from the conveyor.

Abstract: The invention generally relates to a shopping cart that could have: (i) a slidably movable lower container; (ii) a telescoping container; (iii) dual handles; (iv) a stand having a number of holders and a writing surface formed therein; (v) a wheel having a brake coupled thereto; (vi) a generally A-shaped frame; and/or (vii) a retractable child seat assembly.

Abstract: A guard member for use with a dough sheeter having a shut-off mechanism includes a first portion structured to be coupled at or near a dough feed opening of the dough sheeter and a second portion coupled to the first portion. The second portion having a front face and an opposite rear face, the rear face being structured to engage and activate the shut-off mechanism when contact is made with the front face by an outside force.

Abstract: A shopping cart includes a frame, a number of front wheel assemblies and a number of rear wheel assemblies that are coupled to and support the frame, and a main container coupled to the frame. The main container includes a base, a front panel, a rear panel, and a pair of opposing side panels each having a tope edge. The front panel and the pair of opposing side panels are coupled together and extend upward from the base. The rear panel is pivotally coupled to the frame. A portion of the main container is structured to engage each of the corresponding top edges of the opposing side panels of another similarly constructed cart as the other cart is nested into the shopping cart. The engagement causes the number of rear wheel assemblies of the shopping cart to be moved from a first position to a second position generally above the first position.

Abstract: A method of a discount on the purchase of includes determining accumulated discount information each time: (i) a customer performs one of one or more predefined actions, (ii) customer identification information is received in association with the performed action, and (iii) first information relating to the performed action is received. The accumulated discount information is determined by converting the first information into a point value, and deriving the accumulated discount information from the point value. The accumulated discount information is stored in association with the customer identification information. The method further includes obtaining the customer identification information when the customer initiates the purchase of gasoline, obtaining the accumulated discount information using the customer identification information, and providing the customer with a discount on the purchase of gasoline based on the accumulated discount information.
