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.

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. It’s effectively impossible to accidentally steal something without using your pockets

at the wm here, if you even look at the scanner cross-eyed, it sounds the alarms and halts the register until the babysitter can come over, review the footage and unlock it. if anything passes anywhere in the cameras’ very wide fov and a scan isn’t registered… anything… it stops.
they got sam’s club-like checkers at the exits, now, too. anything not in a bag gets ‘checked’… at least that’s what we’ve concluded is their criteria, based on when we have been stopped trying to leave.
me thinks they’ve had a slight uptick in ‘customer-applied discounts’ lately.

Bluetooth speaker in your pocket and a beep sound on your partner’s phone.
