This is awesome. But when I've done transactions using multibit these have taken over an hour to validate! Surely this would need to be completed before someone could leave the physical shop?
Or is this a non issue...

If someone were so inclined to edit the Ridleys Family Market Wikipedia page, here is the link.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ridley%27s_Family_Markets

Now when we approach grocery stores in Vancouver, we can point to the fact that Ridley's is already doing it.

Last year my aunt asked me where is the value of BTC if I can't use to make my groceries. There we go!

IRL grocery outfits are a big key to mainstream adoption, I've always thought this, and so here's a vital part of the puzzle edging into place. If they turn the trial into a permanent operation, they can expect a sudden wave of miners waving their smartphones around at the checkout tills...
