Comment on Kroger introducing AI at self checkout to lower both accidental and organized crime theft.
ggBarabajagal@lemmy.world 1 year agoIn the produce section, they have scales that print out barcoded price stickers. I look up the item I’m weighing (or enter the PLU) and it gives me a sticker I can scan.
In the bakery section, where you can pick out individual muffins or donuts, they have barcodes printed on the self-service case above each item. I can just scan the barcode for whatever I take.
(I do also have the option of checking things out at the end, if I didn’t scan them with the gun.)

I hate self checkout because it’s so slow. The machine always screams at me to bag something or not remove am item even though I never do anything wrong. This whole thing you describe sounds amazing. Thanks for all the detail.

go through self check out with a single item
“Please place item in bagging area”
…no

Not op, but It’s a game changer for sure. Especially once you scan and bag as you go. It makes trips so much more quick and convenient.

This is my dream. I hate the added work of item to basket to scanner to weight tray to bag to basket. Too many unnecessary steps.
