1. A method of automatically associating a scanner device with a user, comprising steps of:

  • capturing, by a scanner device configured with a biometric sensor, biometric information of a user; and

    scanning, by the scanner device, item-identifying information of an item, such that the captured biometric information and the scanned item-identifying information can be transmitted to a computing device adapted for comparing the captured biometric information to previously-stored biometric information to identify the user and thereby automatically associating the scanner device with the identified user, such that the item for which the item-identifying information was scanned is also associated with the user.
