in the UK they weigh the baggage area and if you don’t scan something it’ll should “UNEXPECTED ITEM I THE BAGGAGE AREA” and you get publicly shamed by all the whiter than white old people.

Interesting. Where are the weighs? Do you HAVE to out your bag on a special place?

I wonder we don’t have that yet too. But then again, overworked and understaffed. Noone cares if anything beeps or not. Even if the door-alarms go off, nothing happens. In no store, ever. It’s just that the vast majority of Germans are so obedient, they instantly stop, go to the next employee and explain themselves.

  Certain grocery chains in Canada employ these types of self checkout scanners. Every item is weighed, your bags need to be on the scale from the start and there’s a camera over each checkout.

    Sounds annoying. But we just recently introduced those selfcheckouts. We’re probably still midage and changes like those will come.

  Yes you do have to put your bag in a special place. It’s effectively impossible to accidentally steal something without using your pockets

    Interesting. Sounds pretty foolproof. Wonder why they don’t do such thing here. You just scan or you don’t.
