I have a grocery app that has a database of products and reads UPC codes, etc.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yes! I have stopped insisting on scanning the barcodes of everything (because it's more cool than useful ALL the time), but it is nice and simple anyway. You don't have to use all the fields and stuff.
The other shopping "thing" I have is key ring. Ralphs is way not yet used to that. They do scan it pretty successfully (Sephora doesn't try to scan, nor does the Vitamin Shop or Blick's), but they're usually surprised at that being the answer when they ask if I have a Ralph's card. I think they think I'm fooling around texting in line or something.

I have key ring but the one time I tried to use it, the scanner couldn't read my screen, so I gave up.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
When people actually try,, they don't have consistent problems. Many people don't try, though. At Ralph's they don't even bother take it from me, just scan it in my hand, and I think they've typed it once in 20 or 30 visits.
I find it very handy for me (I'm not carrying that many cards on me), and if the other people can't be bothered to scan it and just start typing, that's entirely on them. I showed them a barcode.

Cool. I know the people who wrote the original app before it was sold to Coupons.com.

Ok, I am going nuts. How do I make a picture my profile picture on FB using my iPhone? I swear, it used to be easy and now I can't figure it out.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Posting from the Galaxy. It's nice here.
