Our self checkouts completely abandoned the stupid scales except when needed for fruit and such. Enforcing the packing with scales makes for a fucking horrible experience.

I haven’t seen any cameras though.

Personally I like that they are more space efficient and time efficient.

Here it is also common to carry around a hand scanner in the store and just pay by docking the scanner without having to pack up anything. It’s way quicker.

Seriously, fuck the scales. The grocery store near me recently shut theirs off. I found the manager and thanked him. That thing annoyed the piss out of me.

I don’t have that here but I do have a regional grocery chain that allows you to use your phone as the scanner as you shop, then you just go to a terminal at the end of your trip and scan a QR code to finalize. I love it.
