Yep, Germany.

The first time you use the system you get checked - they scan a few items in your purchase and check that it’s all been scanned. Thereafter maybe every 10th purchase gets randomly checked.

There’s a scale with a printer in the fruit and veg section. You weigh your produce and scan the barcode that comes out of the printer and stick it on.

Same with the Pfandautomat.

At my local supermarket, I scan every product while I shop, then scan my phone at the self checkout terminal, and then walk out. The payment is via the app. My groceries are at this point either in the trolley, so that I can load them into my pannier bags on my bike, or if I came on foot, they’re already in my backpack or in the shopping bags I brought with me.

So. Much. Better than queueing at a checkout counter and having someone scan my groceries and then having to handle them again.
