After scanning and weighing the items, the shopper can select Cardano’s cryptocurrency Ada as a payment method and then continue with the checkout. Once the transaction is complete, a shopper leaves the store with a paper receipt that’s generated by the POS hardware device.


Why the hell would a shop accept cardano as a payment method?
A cryptocurrency which loses 50-80% it's value in the last months.

All those qr codes "innovations" can be done with bitcoin, which is much more solid.

I believe those shitcoins are bad for adoption.

Nothing is too early for adoption. Cardano is a good coin. I have invested to it and are still holding my coins. But I have to say merchants should just concentrate more on accepting BTC and ETH just like the airlines because its a much accepted for now. Cardano will one day moon but I don't see adoption to it in terms of dapps running with Cardano.

Great work from the team at Utrust for yet another feat. Utrust is one of the few ICOs of 2017 that has kept pushing its platform (a payment system) to the masses.

Bitcoin's adoption rate is increasing with each passing day. We've gone beyond the stage of just buying airtime or shop online with Bitcoin. Now, It's more. Bitcoin is widely accepted in online and offline retail stores in several countries... Microsoft even supports Bitcoin payments  – Plenty of shopify stores accepts Bitcoin as a means of payment. The list goes on and on.

Facebook's Calibra project would bring Bitcoin to the limelight and Blockchain cutting edge tech would be used for payments. A lot of people thinks that Libra will have little to no effect on Bitcoin  but that's untrue. Recently, Twitter's CEO held a Bitcoin Meetup in Nigeria. There's no telling that mass adoption is coming for Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies!  See the thread for more: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.53032304

Now we can see Crypto adoption in every field. Recently, I came across a news where Bitcoin, Ether and other Cryptos were Adopted in Airlines.

The announcement says -

Crypto payments service Utrust partnered up with with the UK-based Alternative Airlines, an online flight search platform, bringing cryptocurrency payments to over 650 carriers. The airlines' customers can pay for flights to destinations across the world with crypto, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Dash (DASH), DigiByte (DGB), and UTRUST (UTK).

I came across 1 more instance where users can buy Groceries with Cardano without a Cashier.

The blockchain research and development company Quanterall is showing off a prototype of a self-checkout system that utilizes Cardano, a public blockchain that allows users to send, receive and spend digital cash called Ada.

Quanterall’s application is a real-world use case that’s designed for everyday consumers at shops and grocery stores. It allows people to buy items at the store without a cashier. Instead, they interact directly with a point-of-sale (POS) device.

How this works?

A shopper simply takes items off the shelf and then scans the products’ barcodes by using their smartphone with the Quanterall app.

After scanning and weighing the items, the shopper can select Cardano’s cryptocurrency Ada as a payment method and then continue with the checkout. Once the transaction is complete, a shopper leaves the store with a paper receipt that’s generated by the POS hardware device.

Watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxerPD7ZSG8#action=share Video to know how it works while buying in shops.

Conclusion:
Day-by-day the Crypto and Blockchain industry is evolving and it's adoption is also increasing more. In future, we may see almost every industry using a Cryptocurrency.
