APRICOTS: System to Teach Cashiers How to Correctly Identify Produce Items by Name

APRICOTS was a project of the NCR Human Interface Technology Center (HITC), where Don Rickert consulted for several years.

While the whole concept of a system to teach fruit and vegetable recognition sounds funny (it did to Don Rickert at first), this is actually a big deal for grocery chains. Millions of dollars are lost every year from cashiers confusing some kind of really expensive leafy green for iceberg lettuce, and so forth.

The system taught cashiers to identify produce items by name and price lookup (PLU) code. The training provided external instructional events to support the cashier's internal processes of learning. Interviews and observations were used to understand the cashiers' job and relevant issues in produce recognition training. Then, an adaptive instructional design strategy and associated graphical user interface was developed.

Don Rickert designed the user research of APRICOTS in order to obtain feedback from cashiers on the effectiveness of APRICOTS' underlying instructional design compared to current training methods.

Hey Jill,I had many of the same observations that you did. I still want a Gelbe sack and its been a month, but it is geittng easier to accept throwing things in the trash now. Love your tree comment. The sky in Texas is HUGE. I love the big, blue sky and the sunsets!! There were no sunsets in Marzell. Okay I could comment more, but I think I second just about all of your observations though I don't ever find myself wanting to climb a tree )

HA You braved the mall! I love the idea of hadinng out candy canes. I am a Scrooge when it comes to shopping. For various reasons, I can't tolerate crowds, and being on my feet for long periods is not good with a bum leg and a bad back So I try to do as much of my shopping as possible online, and only go out to the small specialty stores for those gifts I simply can't find anyplace else. If I must go to a big store, I go to Walmart at 2am when it's very quiet. (Learned that trick when my kids were small and I was delivering papers in the mornings. It was the only time I could get groceries child-free.)Being able to brighten a cashier's day with a candycane is a great reason to go shopping, however. I'll try to remember that the next time I'm out prowling the aisles at 2 in the morning. Rejoicing in the day,-Mary

@ Thousandaire.com,If the the Store had an qualms about cutesmors reusing their coupons, then wouldn't you think that management would just have the cashiers keep the coupons when the original sales are made. My guess is the store is probably more than happy to have that second or third customer reusing their coupon. You need to remember, the store is having their sale for a reason, and typically it is not to just help out their cutesmors. The store is having their sale to move old and/or excess inventories, to make room for the coming season's new inventory or they are just trying to boost sales to get more turns on their inventories, especially during this current economy. If an item gets sold, even at a discount, it allows the corporation to take that money and reinvest it in additional inventory and make that new sale, again. These corporations, for the most part, have some idea as to how they need to merchandise and market their products. You really need to look at the bigger picture.Don't worry about these stores. I sure the Gap has already consider the all the various ways their coupons can be redeemed, and are probably more than happy to get that customer in the door any way they can. Your moral spin on this has nothing to do with the reality of this particular situation! Kevin, you might want step down a bit from your moral high horse and maybe reconsider, when making ethical or moral judgments for the next guy! And stealing, come on, give me a break. If the Gap didn't want everyone to have their coupons, then they wouldn't make the coupons available to everyone . Reply:May 10th, 2011 at 3:38 pm@Jim in Edmonds, WA, you said coupons are for boosting sales and moving inventory. Well, Gap would have had more dollars and would have gotten rid of just as much inventory if Daniel hadn't given her the coupon because she was willing to pay full price. So none of these reasons is applicable to this situation.You also said that Gap is happy that the coupon brings cutesmors in the store. But this customer was already in the store without the coupon. Again, your reasoning doesn't work.I fully understand the dynamics of how a sale or coupon brings people into the store WHEN THEY WOULDN'T NORMALLY GO. Too bad that's not the case here.Maybe before you tell people to step down from a moral high horse, you should have reasons that actually pertain to the particular situation.
