in the UK they weigh the baggage area and if you don’t scan something it’ll shout “UNEXPECTED ITEM IN THE BAGGAGE AREA” as loud as the mf beep and you get publicly shamed by all the whiter than white old people.
anyone who puts bags outside the weighing area gets looked at too, there’s no real way round without going for the old pockets
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.
Yes you do have to put your bag in a special place. If you dont, and the item you scanned (which they already know much it weighs) wont add to the total weight of the scales and it won’t let you scan another item or pay.
It’s effectively impossible to accidentally steal something.
