The Giant scanners are absolutely amazing. The second we walk in we get one, and then we go around the store scanning items and bagging them in our reusable IKEA bags as we go. When we finish, we just scan, pay, and call it a day. It’s so painless and it cuts the time in the store down by at least 25-35%.

I've tried the Giant scanners a couple of times and neither time completely uneventful. I joke that it has to be 'idiot proof' for me to use smoothly! Meanwhile, Jennifer, my spouse reports the Rite Aid at White Oak is closed - has anyone heard anything about this? Editor's note: According to Twitter source @ryssiebee, the Rite-Aid pharmacy and Blockbuster Video in White Oak are done. -- JD (Jan 24, 2009)

Every time I go to the Blair Giant, I envision the planning idea for that space from a couple months ago: parking lot moved underground, with a grassy park replacing it, creating a green rectangle surrounded by shopping and apartments/condos. That would be awesome.

Hurray for the scanners! It will give my kids something fun to do at the grocery and we’ll avoid the long check out procession.

Re: Dunkin Donuts, no word yet on whether it’s coming to Colesville Road. Keep that candle burning, Chaz!

Re: Jackie’s store, no word on that, either. However, given current economic conditions, I’m guessing it’ll be a while before we see her specialty foods store open on Georgia at Sligo.

Any word on that potential Dunkin’ Donuts on Colesville in the building where M&T and Qdoba are going?

I’m a one-issue guy, and Dunkin’ Donuts is my issue.
