Charged opinion
Although Charged is more about electric cars, it is also important to communicate about innovative solutions that take sustainability into account. We had the opportunity to personally try scanning these contactless products and have to say that it works amazingly well. By putting in 5 products, the cash register learned to recognize all. Here’s what to learn from other stores.
At the moment, these are five stores of the same brand, but we will not be surprised if it becomes more and more.
PS, The chocolate drink was delicious and was just warm enough to drink right away.
PPS, unlike Circle K, here you can get vegetarian and vegan food (from Bistro White), which does not disappoint.
