    A store near me (Canadian Tire) has them linked to their app - you find what you want in the app, go to the aisle listed and tap “find this item” and the LED flashes.

      That’s a great feature, because their employees are fucking useless for knowing where things are.

        Well most likely it won’t have any left on the shelf, especially if it were something listed in the weekly flyer.
