READ: New app will let you pay for your Tim Hortons in advanceThomas says the brand was driven to offer the technology after finding that despite having plenty of cashiers on hand, customers can still get stuck in lines when stores are busy. Shoppers will still have the option to be cashed out the traditional way, but Thomas says he expects many will like mobile check-out because it reduces the “friction” around buying and can be helpful in saving time. Other than at Apple stores, Thomas says he hasn’t seen similar technology used at other Canadian retailers. Nordstrom Rack will open locations in downtown Toronto and at Deerfoot Meadows in Calgary in the next few weeks, and in the fall will roll out at South Edmonton Common, Heartland Town Centre in Mississauga, Ont. and the Ottawa Train Yards.
